SIGNED BY AUTHOR!! True First UK Edition, First Printing, Full Number-line with # 1 (Doubleday, 2007)**UNREAD** A BEAUTIFUL BOOK! Signed on the Full Title Page. You will notice that there is no 'Doodle'. Why/ He almost always uses it. I was able to hear the reason from Mr. Zusak himself! When the Doubleday 'adult' version was published, Doubleday asked Markus to sign 3,000 copies! he was led to a room with all 3,000 copies. He decided the only way he would accomplish this was to leave his characteristic 'doodle' off. So, then, this copy is almost assuredly one of the first 3,000 copies ever signed, especially since it comes with the very difficult to find bookmark. Now, the book: Hardcovers are fine, sharp corners, two had very small dents, now heat-pressed to square, lightly visible. Spine is Fine, perfect lettering, no creasing, UNREAD. Pages are clean, with no writing or folding, very light age tanning as is common in this title, but this copy MUCH, MUCH less so. Dust Jacket is Fine, VERY RARE for this fragile jacket, Protected in a clear archival sleeve. £12.99 Price is intact. This is the True First UK Hardcover, often called the "adult edition" (only because of the dust Jacket artwork, no changes to the story), published three weeks before The Bodley Head "children's" or "young adult" edition. (Original Australian Soft-cover was first published in Australia in 2005) (US Hardcover was first published in 2006 by Knopf), (The UK First Hardcovers published in 2007). **Please Note: Extra insurance charges may apply.** **I also am a collector and know all too well what it is like receiving a book not as described. This does not happen here. I am passionate about honesty, quality and customer satisfaction. I have a NO DISAPPOINTMENT policy. My books are always carefully shipped in well-padded boxes and always smoke and odor free.**.…

Store description
Neil Rutledge, Bookseller is truely committed to providing each customer with the very highest degree of customer satisfaction! I am a Bookseller, and I cannot be that without you, the Book Buyer/Collector. I never forget that. I specialize in Modern Fiction First Editions, both signed and unsigned. I have extensive knowledge of Modern Fiction First Editions, and carefully research and represent each book I offer. I personally inspect and each item I sell. I then carefully grade each item before I list it for sale. You may notice that I point out even the most insignificant flaw. That is because I would rather receive a lower price by pointing out every flaw than incorrectly describe an item just to obtain a higher selling price. My ethical standard is to never, ever, grade an item as better than it actually is. Instead, you should receive an item that is exactly what you ordered, if not better! I then ship it in a very carefully padded box to insure it arrives safely to your door. I am determined that disappointment will not be part of the buying experience at Neil Rutledge, Bookseller. Please allow me the opportunity earn your business, and your TRUST. Shop with me and your only surprises will be GOOD ones!…
