Beautiful, one-of-a-kind, first edition presentation copy (in a clamshell case quarterbound in leather) of RCA Vice-President Orrin Dunlap’s seminal 1937 biography of Guglielmo Marconi, entitled Marconi — The Man And His Wireless.

The book was presented by Dunlap to his friend — journalist and PR executive Tom Mahoney — in 1940 and features a tipped-in photographic plate of Marconi and Charles Steinmetz. The plate is signed elegantly by Marconi in blue ink, with Marconi’s brief explanation, beneath his signature, of his own place in history.

The book is in fine condition. Marconi’s signature on the plate, and the text beneath it, are guaranteed to be authentic, penned by Marconi in his own hand. The accompanying original documents pictured with the book are included as its provenance.
