First edition, inscribed by the author on the title, 'Paige Williams, Tucson Book Festival, March 2, 2019'.

This best-selling true-crime story explores the remarkable 2013 legal case The United States of America v. One Tyrannosaurus Bataar Skeleton, which decided the fate of a skeleton smuggled to the US from Mongolia by fossil dealer Eric Prokopi. Author Paige Williams, of the New Yorker, explores important questions about the practice of palaeontology — who receives the credit and benefits from fossil discoveries, and is it ever ethical to sell fossils on the open market? An important contribution to the public's understanding of the history and ethics of fossil hunting.

First edition, first printing, inscribed by the author; 8vo; original white boards, titles to spine in copper, corners very slightly bumped, in the dust jacket with just a little rubbing at the tips, very good condition; 410pp.
