NEBA Reoffers Inscribed Lolita

New England Book Auctions is reoffering a Putnam Lolita inscribed to Nabokov’s cousin, Sophie Nabokov (estimated at $1000/1500) in its auction on January 31st.
The details are here: http://nebookauctions.com/shop/uncategorized/176-nabokov-vladimir/.
I wrote about its previous appearance at NEBA on 26-Oct-2016:
Lolita, Putnam’s, 1958 (A28.2), eighth printing, in very poor dj, with VN inscription and butterfly to a cousin, Sophie Nabokov, dated 1-Mar-1959. Est. $800–1200, sold for $1100. This copy is now being offered by Wootton’s Books in Worthington, MA, for $6500.
This appears to be the real thing and not fraudulent (unlike some Nabokov inscribed books recently offered by NEBA).
