Ray Harryhausen An Animated Life Signed 1st Edition Rare collectible

This rare collector's item is a signed first edition hardcover book titled "Ray Harryhausen: An Animated Life" published in 2003 by Aurum Press in the UK. It was signed by Harryhausen himself when I met him following a Q&A in Exeter back in 2003 (the year of publication). The book contains lots of images/stills from his movies, plus his wonderful concept drawings, and provides a fascinating insight into his work. The book is still in very good condition, with a small tear to the front top left corner of the dust jacket - see photos for detail.

This is reflected in the asking price. Thanks for looking, feel free to message for more info.
