About This Item
1st edition, first printing with full number line ending in 1 SIGNED hardcover copy of Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age from 1995 in absolutely gorgeous condition. Original, unclipped jacket with $22.95 price. Signed by Neal Stephenson on cover page and inscribed "To Michael". The only thing basically not perfect is the spine portion of the dust jacket is very slightly sun bleached resulting in "The Diamond Age" writing being a bit more pink/white than the writing on the cover, but due to the color complementing the year of printing and it being "diamond" it honestly looks completely natural. I only noticed because I had another copy right next to this one.
Book will be sent with tracked shipping and securely packaged in multiple layers WITH BOX to prevent damage during shipping. Feel free to reach out with any questions and be sure to check my other items! Thanks so much for stopping by.
