THE SUBTLE KNIFE. A Fine Association Copy

Pullman, Philip

Published by Scholastic Press, London, 1997

About this Item

Second Printing of the original Scholastic Press edition. An attractive association copy of the second volume in the Northern Lights trilogy. Mr Pullman being a prodigious and generous signer of books, even signed first printings of this title are by no means that rare but this copy is particularly significant given its recipient. At the title page the author's inscription reads, "With very warm greetings and admiration to Lynne Reid Banks, Philip Pullman, May 2000". The late Ms. Reid Banks was originally best known for her ground-breaking novel The L-Shaped Room before achieving even greater international fame with the modern children's classic, The Indian in the Cupboard. The book is in Fine, fresh condition with just the hint of a slight lean but otherwise firmly bound and tight. The pages remain perfectly white with no age-related toning. The dustjacket is unclipped and without any noticeable creasing or rubbing - there is a very small circular mark or stain to the front flap, else Fine. A pleasing association copy of this modern classic.
