About This Item
Lot of both the Numbered Signed-Limited and Edition with illustrations by Clive plus the first UK trade edition also signed by Clive! Both books, one price!
The Great and Secret Show by Clive Barker (author of the Books of Blood, The Hell-Bound Heart (aka Hellraiser), Imagica, Abarat, etc) Leather Hardcover Signed-Limited Issue in Tray Case without dust jacket as issued London: Collins UK, 1989. 1/500 numbered copies signed on a limitation page by Clive, this is copy no. 278. The book is in leather covers with gold gilt titles and gold gilt text-block, and the leather tray case has a velvet lining. This also includes B&W illustrations by Clive, the only edition to do so. In my opinion one of the best productions among Clive's Signed-Limited Editions. (Simultaneous trade editions by Harper and Row US, and later released by Gauntlet Press) Fine in Near Fine+/Fine- tray case, with a few scuffs to one edge, still an exceptional copy which is very difficult to find.
Bonus Free Book: The Great and Secret Show Hardcover First Edition UK - First Printing London: Collins, 1989. SIGNED by Clive towards the bottom of the page (stand-alone) Spectacular wrap-around dust jacket artwork by Manual San Julian (much better than the silly post box of the US edition). Near Fine+/Fine- in Fine Dust Jacket. Would be a nearly fine copy save some noticeable reading wear to the text-block. Offered as a free copy.
NOTE: The pictures are of the actual item for sale. (The pictures are NOT stock photos.)
