The book is housed in the original, unclipped, first issue dust jacket, which is in equally smart condition, with just a touch of bumping to the edges. Illustrated by David Scutt, it remains bright and clean and in excellent condition. The Amber Spyglass (David Fickling Books 2000): Bound in original black cloth boards, with the title in gilt to the front board and spine. The binding is square and tight and free from damage and in exceptional condition, as is the inside with no blemishes or marks to note. The book is signed by the author on the title page, and the jacket illustrator to the half-title page. This beautiful book is housed in its unclipped, first issue dust jacket. It is vibrant and bright and in charming condition, illustrated by David Scutt. The trilogy was marketed for young adults, although Pullman has stated he did not write it with a specific audience in mind. The fantasy series is critically acclaimed and functions in part as a retelling and inversion of John Milton's 'Paradise Lost', with Pullman commending humanity for original sin, which Milton perceived as its most tragic failing. There was some controversy over the trilogy and its criticism of religion, but in spite of that, by 2024 more than 22 million copies had been sold in more than 50 countries, and it has been translated into 40 different languages. The first instalment was translated to the big screen in 2007, with the title of the American version 'The Golden Compass', directed by Chris Weitz and starring Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig and Dakota Blue Richards. The trilogy was then turned into a tv series in 2019-2022 for BBC One and HBO, receiving positive reviews. This is a truly lovely first edition set of this popular trilogy, a rare find with all three signed by the jacket illustrator and the third instalment signed by the author as well. This would make a fabulous addition to any modern firsts collection. Please contact us for more photos.…
