A first edition signed by the author, offering a highly collectible example of contemporary British political writing. Signed first editions are especially valued because they combine publication priority with direct author association, and political titles tied to recent prime ministers are often collected as historical documents of their moment.


Truss at 10: How Not to Be Prime Minister by Anthony Seldon is a sharp, fast-moving account of Liz Truss’s brief and turbulent time in office, written by one of Britain’s most respected political historians and biographers. Drawing on insider knowledge and political analysis, Seldon examines the decisions, personalities, and pressures that shaped one of the shortest premierships in modern British history. Both topical and historically significant, the book appeals to readers of contemporary politics, while its signed first edition status makes it particularly attractive to collectors of modern political history and political biography.
