About this Item
Description:
A new copy, as received directly from the publisher. First Folio edition, second impression. An instant bestseller on publication in 1990, Michael Crichton's novel about geneticists bringing dinosaurs back from extinction was, and remains, irresistible.

This Folio Society illustrated edition of Crichton's electrifying novel enhances the action-packed narrative with illustrations by artist Vector That Fox, and features retro recreations of period computer graphics. A scaly 'dinosaur skin' slipcase ensures that young adult and older readers alike are fully immersed in this hair-raising adventure. Bound in paper with soft-touch lamination and textured spot varnish, printed with a wraparound design by Vector That Fox. Set in Dante with Manito as display. 448 pages. 6 full-page colour illustrations, 1 black & white illustrated title double-page spread. 27 integrated black & white graphics. Textured paper slipcase. 9½'' x 6¼''. Printed and bound in Italy. In mint condition as received directly from The Folio Society.

The film rights were snapped up before the ink on the manuscript had dried, and the Steven Spielberg-directed movie broke box office records and paved the way for four successful sequels with a fifth due for release in 2022. Marking the 30th anniversary of its publication, this illustrated edition of Crichton s electrifying novel enhances the action-packed narrative with illustrations by artist Vector That Fox, and featuring retro recreations of period computer graphics. A scaly dinosaur skin slipcase ensures that young adult and older readers alike are fully immersed in this hair-raising adventure. Illustrations approved by renowned palaeontologist: American palaeontologist Steve Brusatte specialises in the anatomy and evolution of dinosaurs and we worked closely with him during every draft of the illustrations to ensure absolute accuracy according to the book, while also endeavouring to include the latest discoveries in the field. Artist Vector That Fox blends realism with a dramatic theme-park-inspired palette and lush jungle backdrop across the series of colour illustrations and a striking black-and-white title page spread, while her dramatic wraparound binding design oozes tension and foreshadows danger. Every computer graphic, graph and table from the original novel has been carefully recreated in period style and placed in situ in the narrative, while the display font has been specially sourced for its amusement park aesthetics. This edition pays homage to Michael Crichton s game-changing novel at the turn of every page, and it is the ultimate introduction to the prescient world he created. First and Fine.
