BILL GATES SIGNED FIRST EDITION – THE ROAD AHEAD (1995)
Offered here is an authentic signed and inscribed first edition, first printing of The Road Ahead by Bill Gates, published by Viking in 1995.
This copy bears a contemporary personal inscription reading:
\"Best wishes to Rene and Erla\"
Bill Gates
12/1995
The copyright page confirms a true first printing with the complete number line:
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
The signature style and inscription format are highly consistent with known examples of Bill Gates\' authentic signatures from the mid-1990s promotional period surrounding the release of The Road Ahead. The December 1995 date further supports its contemporaneous origin.
Bill Gates signed comparatively few books during this era, making authentic first-printing signed copies increasingly difficult to locate, particularly in this exceptional condition.

✔ Authentic Bill Gates signature and inscription
✔ Dated December 1995
✔ True first edition, first printing
✔ Original Viking dust jacket
✔ Near Fine book condition
✔ Near Fine to Fine dust jacket condition
✔ Excellent candidate for technology, Microsoft, and autograph collectors
