Samuel Beckett Bibliography

More Information

Samuel Beckett, born 13 May 1906, went to school in his native Dublin before going to Trinity College, Dublin. He went on to become a giant in his genre and in 1969 was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. His breakthrough, and his most famous work, was the play Waiting for Godot, before this he was largely unknown to the general public. Needless to say, this all adds up to a very collectable author. Some of his rarer works attract 'big ticket' prices. Signed or inscribed association copies especially so. There have also been several special signed and limited editions done, both here and in America. Once again these, whilst not always rare books, are expensive. There is plenty of material out there for the completist collector, though it has to be said, somebody embarking on acquiring all his work in 1st edition status is taking on quite a task and not just financially. If you are looking to buy or sell rare books then our antiquarian booksellers section may be of some assistance.
