About This Item
London: Sidgwick & Jackson, 1982. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Near Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Bruce Pennington Cover. First edition first printing. Hardback book is tight clean and square. Boards clean, very sharp corners. Title gilt perfect. Text block clean, and off white with three very feint small spots to top edge. Feels lightly read. Near fine condition. Lovely glossy jacket with the brilliant Bruce Pennington wrap around artwork has been price clipped, and has a touch of sunning to spine that does not detract. Overall a near fine copy. For grading accuracy books are photographed without a protective book cover. This book is fitted with a non adhesive archival quality book protector to make a worthy addition to your collection. Note we do not use stock images, the book pictured is the book described. A super example of this collectible first edition first printing title, the third book in the New Sun series, a lovely example of this increasingly scarce title, definitely one for the collectors.
