Jurassic Park

by Crichton, Michael

Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton is a thrilling sci-fi novel that takes readers on a heart-pounding adventure into a theme park inhabited by genetically resurrected dinosaurs. Ingeniously created by ambitious scientists, the dinosaurs soon prove more formidable and dangerous than anticipated. As chaos erupts on the island, a group of experts, including paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant and mathematician Dr. Ian Malcolm, must fight for survival against these prehistoric creatures. Crichton masterfully combines scientific concepts, ethical dilemmas, and gripping action, delivering a cautionary tale about the consequences of tampering with nature and the limits of human control. Jurassic Park remains a timeless classic that captivates readers with its blend of science, suspense, and sheer terror.

Michael Crichton's epic book was adapted into a blockbuster film directed by Steven Spielberg starring Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Richard Attenborough.

First Edition Identification

True Jurassic Park’s first edition was published by the Franklin Library as a signed first edition in 1990. It was 400 pages long, bound in charcoal leather binding, stamped in gilt, with publisher's single page prospectus. In November 1990, Alfred A. Knopf published a trade edition with blue paper-covered boards over blue spine cloth stamped in gilt and a dinosaur skeleton illustrated on the dust jacket.

Other Collectible or Notable Editions

First UK edition of the Jurassic Park novel (London: Century, 1991) is valued at several hundred USD. The original retail price was £13.99. It was bound in white cloth, with black lettering to the spine and white endpapers and paste-downs.

In 1995 Alfred A. Knopf published Jurassic Park and its sequel, The Lost World, in one volume. This edition has illustrated boards.
