In the first few months of the Protection Detail, due to the high grade and imminent nature of the Intelligence threats received against him, it had been required to relocate the author and his wife once every 3-4 days. A number of safe houses, some friends, but other officially rented premises were utilised for the purpose. The person to whom this book signature is dedicated, ‘Simon’ was the Metropolitan Police Special Branch Detective responsible for the Subject's Close Protection detail on occasions during the period August to November 1989. The book, signed and inscribed to Simon and his wife Sheila, was presented to Simon in a London safe house that we were occupying on Wednesday 22nd November 1989.

Potter (Beatrix) The Tale of Peter Rabbit, first trade edition, deluxe issue with 'wept big tears' on p.51 and bound in mustard-yellow cloth rather than paper boards, half-title, leaf-pattern endpapers, 31 full-page colour illustrations by Potter, small ink ownership inscription to front free endpaper, a few abrasion marks, pp.58-9 and 66-7 stuck together, p.80 with short marginal tear, gutter cracked and weak, contents shaken, lower hinge broken and lacking rear free endpaper, original mustard-yellow cloth with mounted colour illustration on upper cover, t.e.g., slightly rubbed and soiled, [Linder p.421, Quinby 2], 16mo, London & New York, Frederick Warne and Co. [1902]. *** Rare deluxe issue of the first trade edition of the first book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter. Originally published in two privately printed editions of 250 and 200 copies (December 1901 and February 1902, respectively), this first trade edition was the first in which all of Potter's designs are printed in color. Leslie Linder records that 2000 copies from the first printing of 8000 were issued in "green cloth, light green cloth or olive-green cloth". This mustard-yellow cloth variant is therefore unrecorded by Linder, making it perhaps the rarest of the different deluxe issues of Peter Rabbit.
