Life on Air by David Attenborough. BBC Books, 2002. Signed 'To Doreen. Best wishes. David Attenborough' on the second free endpaper.

David Attenborough (b. 1926), the well-known broadcaster, signed this book in Leicester soon after it was published.

Speaking later of the experience of talking to Attenborough for a few moments, Doreen Thacker described him as 'the nicest person I have ever met - he engaged with you instantly.'
