About This Item
First Edition/First Printing with the complete number line; A Very Good book in a Very Good dust jacket. SIGNED by the author on the title page. A handsome copy of this early novel by the author of the "Wolf Hall" trilogy; this novel scarce signed. This copy is in very good condition with some light soiling to the text block and boards, some minor rubbing to the spine ends, edges, and corners, and a couple of small bumps to the top board edges. Housed in a very good crisp and bright price clipped dust jacket that shows some light rubbing to the spine ends, edges, and corners, and one closed tear to the rear lower flap fold. Overall, a sharp and presentable copy of a book rarely found signed by Ms. Mantel. Not remaindered, not ex-library; in a protective Mylar cover and will ship in a sturdy box.
