Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Hardcover. 252 pages. *** PUBLISHING DETAILS: Collins, UK, 1995. First Edition. This is the first UK edition. *** CONDITION: The book itself is in very good condition and comes in very good dust jacket. More specifically: Edges of boards have superficial wear. Dust jacket has superficial rubbing. Edges of dust jacket have minor chipping. Dust jacket is unclipped. Remainder mark on page edges. Pages are reasonably tanned. *** ABOUT THIS BOOK: Strange things are happening at Biehl's Academy when this elite school opens its doors to a group of orphans and reform-school rejects, kids at the end of the system's tether. But the school is run by a peculiar set of rules by which every minute is regimented and controlled. The children soon suspect that they are guinea pigs in a bizarre social experiment, and that their only hope of escape is to break through a dangerous threshold of time and space. Peter Hoeg's "brilliant" and dystopian "Borderliners "is a "uniquely philosophical thriller" ("Boston Sunday Globe") and a haunting story of childhood travail and hope. *** Quantity Available: 1.
