Hawking signed this book, ''The Archaeology of the Industrial Revolution'', along with several other members of the Institute of Theoretical Astronomy at Cambridge University, on the occasion of an employee leaving his job as a computer operator.
Hawking has signed the half-title page ''Stephen Hawking'' in stilted but legible writing, below the signatures of other faculty members and below the gift inscription, ''With gratitude and best wishes from the friends of the IOA computer staff". Shortly after this book was autographed, Hawking lost his ability to sign his name due to ALS.
Light pulling away from binding at bottom of signature page, but overall in near fine condition. Accompanied by email chain of provenance originating from the recipient of the book.
