A first edition, first printing of �In The Wet� published by Heinemann in 1953. A good/very good book inscribed on the front endpaper �For Alec and Spiffy/from Nevil/May 1953� and additionally signed to the title page �Nevil Shute Norway�. Some dinks to the page edges and fading and wear to the spine and board edges and corners. In a very good unclipped wrapper with one small internal repair. Some light rubbing and some nicking to the edges. Very rare signed and especially so inscribed.�
