Black Holes and Baby Universes, Stephen Hawking

First paperback edition, first printing of Hawking’s celebrated collection of essays on cosmology, physics, and the nature of the universe. Signed by Hawking on the title page with his right thumbprint, accompanied by the printed authentication stamp reading: “RIGHT THUMB-PRINT OF S. W. HAWKING WITNESSED BY JUDITH CROASDELL.” Dated “12 Sept 2011,” with the notation “DAMTP, University of Cambridge, U.K.” and "Stephen Hawking" below his thumbprint, all in Croasdell's hand. Judith worked with Stephen as his personal assistant from 2004 to 2014 and was the Starmus III Consultant to Stephen from 2015-2016. Hawking’s progressive motor neuron disease eventually prevented him from signing in the traditional manner, and authenticated thumbprints such as this became the standard means by which he signed books later in life. Signed Hawking material remains highly sought after, particularly examples bearing both the thumbprint and the Croasdell authentication stamp.
