Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Near Fine hardcover, as issued w/out dj, in a Near Fine slipcase. "First Edition October 2013" stated to copyright statement located at lower rear pastedown and # row ending in #2. Includes all of the inserts/ephemera laid in to book (postcards, letters, news clippings). Scarce. A nice copy - clean text, tight binding, and a clean and bright covers.
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Gray cloth hardcover with modernist illustration and titles on cover and spine in black illustrated slip-case. The seal is broken, but intact. Book is intentionally faux-aged and camouflaged as an ex-library book published in 1949 and heavily annotated with margin notes in the hands two fictitious readers (which forms a separate mystery overlaid on the narrative). This comedic homage to travel literature and pseudo-academic prose will not fail to delight. Contains 24 fictitious "laid-in" items between the pages: post-cards, news clippings, epistles, loose notes, business cards. From the publisher's statement: "The book: Ship of Theseus, the final novel by a prolific but enigmatic writer named V.M. Straka, in which a man with no past is shanghaied onto a strange ship with a monstrous crew and launched onto a disorienting and perilous journey. The writer: Straka, the incendiary and secretive subject of one of the world's greatest mysteries, a revolutionary about whom the world knows nothing apart from the words he wrote and the rumors that swirl around him. The readers: Jennifer and Eric, a college senior and a disgraced grad student, both facing crucial decisions about who they are, who they might become, and how much they're willing to trust another person with their passions, hurts, and fears."

Gr. 8° geb. Pappeinband. Gebundener Pappeinband in Original-Schuber, 24 x 17 cm, SU mit minimalen Lagerspuren, das Siegel geöffnet, der Band selbst in annähernd neuwertigem Zustand, alle Beilagen sind enthalten, damit absolut vollständig. NEIN, dieses Buch ist nicht vollgekritzelt und auch kein Leihexemplar , wie der Stempel auf dem Vorsatz verkündet, und auch die Zettel, Karten, Belege, Notizen etc., die darin liegen, wurden nicht vergessen. Sie sind Teil des raffinierten Gesamtkunstwerks. Verlagstext: Eine junge Studentin findet in der Bibliothek ein Buch, in das ein anderer Student Hunderte von Randbemerkungen gekritzelt hat, offenbar im Bemühen, der wahren Identität des unter Pseudonym schreibenden Autors V. M. Straka auf die Spur zu kommen. Die junge Frau ist fasziniert und ergänzt die Notizen mit eigenen Mutmaßungen. Zwischen den beiden Studenten Jen und Eric entspinnt sich eine lebhafte Unterhaltung, die allein auf den Seiten des Romans »Das Schiff des Theseus« stattfindet. Gemeinsam machen sie sich auf die Suche nach dem mysteriösen Autor V. M. Straka. Ein unbekannter Übersetzer hat den Roman herausgegeben und ihn mit teilweise verwirrenden Fußnoten versehen. Doch die beiden finden heraus, dass diese Fußnoten einen geheimen Code ergeben, der ihnen Informationen liefert, die der Straka-Forschung bisher völlig unbekannt waren. Was wie ein Spiel beginnt, wird im Laufe der Zeit bitterer Ernst, denn jemand scheint Interesse daran zu haben, dass die Identität des Autors nicht gelüftet wird. Jen und Eric geraten in gefährliche Verstrickungen, die sie fast das Leben kosten. Ein hochraffiniert komponierter Roman, der zeigt, was ein Buch anrichten kann. In der Literatur und im Leben.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. I opened this extraordinary book to make certain it was a first edition; what I did not realise was it is a truly fascinating and unique book imagined by J.J. Abrams and written by Doug Dorst. It is not only a straightforward work of fiction. It is doubly so! It is made to look as if it was published in 1949, and among other mysteries it is also faked up as a library book - from a fictitious library of course! Thus there are many deceptions going on. One is the annotations within the text; remarks and clarifications, as if handwritten. And then, most unusually, there are many inserts loosely laid in throughout the book. Postcards, letters, bills even a compass. The text paper is faked to look old. There are library stamps and some slight foxing, all of it faked! This book can be read as a novel. It can also be read as an annot=ated work in progress. J. J. Abrams and Doug Dorst have an obvious fascination with the written word, and of the history of a world of books. A stunning and very original production.
