Item Description

Hardcover editions of each of Laura Hillenbrand's bestselling novels: "Seabiscuit," and "Unbroken," her newest #1 New York Times bestseller, and in each book, a bookplate bearing Hillenbrand's autograph.

Hillenbrand does not conduct book signings, making these signed bookplates something to treasure.

Bookplates are an old tradition. A bookplate, also known as ex-librīs [Latin, "from the books of..."], is usually a small print or decorative label pasted into a book, often on the inside front cover, to indicate its owner.

The #1 New York Times bestseller Seabiscuit: An American Legend, was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, won the Book Sense Book of the Year Award and the William Hill Sports Book of the Year award, landed on more than fifteen best-of-the-year lists, and inspired the film Seabiscuit, which was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture. HillenbrandâTMs New Yorker article, "A Sudden Illness," won the 2004 National Magazine Award, and she is a two-time winner of the Eclipse Award, the highest journalistic honor in Thoroughbred racing. She and actor Gary Sinise are the co-founders of Operation International Children, a charity that provides school supplies to children through American troops. She lives in Washington, DC.
