Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 1 leaf, xvi, 226 pp; illus. Original cloth. Spine sunned. Very Good. First Edition. SIGNED BY JAMES D. WATSON TO SALVADOR LURIA AND ZELLA LURIA: "To my greatest supporters/ Salva and Zella/ Jim/ Jim". NOTE: A brief essay on the greatness of this copy, so you know why it costs more than other signed copies. Prior to about 2000 it was not easy to get a signed copy of Watson's The Double Helix. Watson would not even accept money from booksellers for his signature. But then Watson wrote three books between 2001 and 2007 and went on book signing tours for each one. He signed not only his new book, but also other books, including copies of the first edition of The Double Helix. Ever since then, the market has been plentifully supplied with signed copies of The Double Helix. You can even buy copies signed by both Watson and Crick, or all three Nobel laureates from 1962: Watson, Crick, and Wilkins. BUT very few of these signed copies goes back to 1968 when The Double Helix was published, and none of them is a presentation copy to someone who mattered in Watson's scientific career. Except this copy is. After graduating from the University of Chicago, Watson chose to go to Indiana University for graduate school, where Salvador Luria became his adviser. Luria was a member of the "phage group", and it was through Luria that Watson, while still a grad student, became a member of that group, which included Max Delbrück and others who were the first generation of molecular biologists. This copy of The Double Helix is the one Watson presented to Salvador Luria and his wife Zella, with a very personal statement: "To my greatest supporters". Watson signed his name twice, presumably because he was presenting the copy to two people. I won't argue with someone who claims a copy presented by Watson to Max Delbrück or to Francis Crick would be better (I do not know where those copies are). But the connection between Watson and Luria precedes either of those relationships. In the year after The Double Helix was published, Salvador Luria shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1969 with Max Delbrück and Alfred D. Hershey "for their discoveries concerning the replication mechanism and the genetic structure of viruses." The blue cloth of this book is very prone to sunning. The dust jacket on this copy was discarded at some point, with the inevitable result that the spine is sunned. I mention this only because, even though someone could now add a dust jacket to this copy, as soon as an added dust jacket is removed, it will be obvious that it was not part of this copy from birth. A dust jacket would have prevented the sunning (except maybe at the very top and bottom of the spine where sunning has still occurred on some copies that have had their dust jackets from birth). Signed by Author(s).

Swedish postage stamp honoring Crick, Watson, and Wilkins for the Nobel Prize in 1962 is pasted to title page. Wilkins's inscription is partly on the stamp. Very Good, in dust jacket. Third Impression of British Edition. The following pages are signed or annotated: 1. Title page: SIGNED BY NOBEL LAUREATES JAMES D. WATSON, FRANCIS CRICK, MAURICE WILKINS ("with best wishes/ Maurice Wilkins/ April 2003"), AND BY RAYMOND GOSLING. 2. p. 214: SIGNED BY FRANCIS CRICK AND JAMES D. WATSON UNDER THE PHOTOGRAPH SHOWING THEM STANDING BY THEIR DNA MODEL (opposite p. 214). 3. p. 18 SIGNED BY MAURICE WILKINS UNDER HIS PHOTOGRAPH (opposite p. 18). 4. Annotated by Raymond G. Gosling about Rosalind Franklin (under her photograph opposite p. 70): "She had wonderfully lustrous dark eyes. I found her very attractive, as did most everyone who worked with her. She had a strong personality and did not suffer fools gladly. Her powers of concentration were quite fierce and she could get done in a day what other people might have taken several to achieve. Raymond Gosling Sept. 2003". 5. Annotated by Raymond G. Gosling about X-ray photograph of crystalline DNA in the A form (under photograph opposite p. 72): "The pattern that 'kick started' the whole story. A multifibre (about 35) specimen made by Wilkins & myself and taken on a conventional Rayniax tube in the basement of King s College London. This pattern was one shewn by Maurice at the Naples meeting. The A form was obtained serendipitously by my regulating the Hydrogen into the camera by bubbling thru' water--hence ~92% RH. Raymond Gosling. Sept. 2003." 6. Annotated by Raymond G. Gosling about X-ray photograph of DNA in the B form, taken by Rosalind Franklin late in 1952 (under photograph opposite p. 169): "As Rosalind's assistant I actually 'took' this X-ray pattern. Since we were working closely together the overall strategy was Rosalind's. Therefore the importance attributed to some--as to who 'took' the photograph--is inappropriate. R G Gosling Sept. 2003." NOTE: I have included photos of everything signed or annotated, except for Maurice Wilkins's signature under his photo (opposite p. 18). I have a photo of that signature, too, which I will supply on request, but ABE allows only 5 photos per listing. Signed by Author(s).

First edition of Watson's ground breaking work regarding the discovery of DNA for which the author, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1962. Signed by both James Watson and Francis Crick on the title page. Octavo, original blue cloth, with numerous diagrams and photographic illustrations. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Jeanyee Wong. Foreword by Sir Lawrence Bragg. Rare and desirable signed by both Watson and Crick. "Science seldom proceeds in the straightforward logical manner imagined by outsiders," writes James Watson in The Double Helix, his account of his codiscovery (along with Francis Crick) of the structure of DNA. Watson, Crick and Maurice Wilkins won Nobel Prizes for their work, and their names are memorized by biology students around the world. But as in all of history, the real story behind the deceptively simple outcome was messy, intense, and sometimes truly hilarious. To preserve the "real" story for the world, James Watson attempted to record his first impressions as soon after the events of 1951-1953 as possible, with all their unpleasant realities and "spirit of adventure" intact. "One of the investigators, more than any of the others, realized the decisive importance of the DNA molecules in biology, and it was this understanding which urged him relentlessly to push this work toward a successful conclusion, in spite of his rather modest technical qualifications for this task" (Mayr, 823). "He has described admirably how it feels to have that frightening and beautiful experience of making a great scientific discovery" (Richard Feynman, winner of the 1965 Nobel Prize for Physics).

8vo. XVI, 226, (10), (1) pp. Inscribed in black in on the title-page. With final 10 pp. of photographs and facsimile letter. Original purple cloth and dust jacket. Inscribed by the Nobel laureate James D. Watson: "To John from Jim Watson". - The single most important advance in biology since Darwin's theory, the discovery of the structure of DNA was the product of the research of James Watson, Francis Crick, Rosalind Franklin, and Maurice Wilkins. For this monumental work, Crick, Watson, and Wilkins shared the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology. Franklin, whose contributions were often downplayed, had passed away four year earlier at the age of 37, likely due to X-ray exposure from her work. - The story of the discovery and its aftermath, told here, is an unlikely and interesting glimpse into the process of scientific advancement wherein "victory fell to an unlikely quartet of scientists in England who didn't work as a team, often weren't on speaking terms, and were for the most part novices in the field" (Bryson, p. 487). Told from the perspective of the American wunderkind James Watson, this memoir traces one of the greatest scientific upheavals of the eventful 20th century. - Spine slightly slanted; in fine condition. - Bill Bryson, A Short History of Nearly Everything (Crown, 2004), p. 487f.
