About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Henry Holt and Company, Inc., 1999. First Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Signed by author on title page in black fountain ink. A dark, dystopian, high-velocity thriller, THE SECOND ANGEL is a chillingly convincing mix of prophecy and science. On Earth, plagues have destroyed major food supplies, climatic changes have brought constant winter to the once-industrialized West, and a new and virulent virus has infected the Earth's population, bringing devastating changes in the economic, political, and social structures. Clean , uninfected blood is banked, speculated in, traded, hoarded, and has become the currency of choice, but only for those wealthy enough, or healthy enough, to have an uninfected supply. The author of nine wildly imaginative and acclaimed novels, Philip Kerr is one of Granta's magazines 'Best Young British Novelists'. Fine, unread, first edition first printing in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. [Not remainder-marked or price-clipped] M40

We specialize in collectible, contemporary signed first editions. First edition means the first printing. (Later printings of the first edition are typically not printed on acid-free paper, and should be avoided by collectors.) Signatures are obtained by us in person. Inscribed books sold by us may contain a line, a phrase, or a sketch that the author has chosen to add. Our signed books are not dedicated to anybody in particular (not to your grandmother, your Aunt Gladys, your ex-lover or your former cellmate), except in the rare case of a presentation copy from an author to a noteworthy person. All our books are hardcover, unless the book is an Advance Reading Copy, Uncorrected Proof, or PBO. You can expect that the books we send you will be as described, and in a physical condition worthy of the author’s having signed them. We do not sell remainder-marked books, signed or otherwise
