Bookseller’s note: 
There are several Booker Prize collections of varying types and stages of completion – but the most desirable must be a signed collection of the first UK editions of both 
winners and shortlist titles (with or without proofs and/or, in the case of overseas authors, ‘flag’ titles). This can never be quite complete – Rising is impossible as the author 
died before the book was published, The Overstory is probably impossible as the author does not sign bound copies of his books and there are no known signed copies of Utz 
(Chatwin was dying of Aids when the book was published and capable only of scrawling his initials, which he did on a small number of bookplates most of which were attached 
to later impressions). 
The most complete collection 1969-2009 is the collection in the Morgan Library, New York, acquired from a UK collector – this includes many association copies and many 
proofs – and lacks only those books mentioned above (to 2009) and one other. There are also two near complete collections to date, one in Australia, which includes longlisted 
and ‘flag’ titles and which has recently been offered for sale, and one in Wales, both requiring only two or three more titles (excluding the impossible ones). 
The scarcest signed winners are The Siege of Krishnapur and Staying On and these might be considered the cornerstones of any collection. Several other of the early winners are 
also scarce signed (though it should be noted that copies of Heat and Dust and Hotel du Lac with forged signatures have been marketed in recent years, as has an implausible ‘signed’ 
copy of Utz). Several of the earlier shortlisted books are scarce signed, e.g. St Urbain’s Horseman, Quartet in Autumn, A Month in the Country and Constance, as well as some more 
recent ones, such as Under the Frog, The Industry of Souls and The Deposition of Father McGreevy. The scarcest book unsigned is From Scenes Like These followed by A Green Equinox 
(hardback) and The Conjunction. 
NB: All books referenced above are first UK editions, as are all the books in this catalogue unless otherwise stated. I have included some signed limited editions, one reprint, of 
Beside the Ocean of Time, another difficult book to find signed, and one longlisted book, Out of the Shelter. I also include a number of proofs, some signed, including many of the 
winners – of these The Bone People is impossible and The Elected Member, Heat and Dust and Staying On are rarely seen. Although not as scarce as these, there were reportedly 
only sixty copies made of the proof of the ‘Booker of Bookers’, Midnight’s Children.
