About this Item

>>> SIGNED by AUTHOR to the Title Page. Rare true first American edition (preceding the UK Viking 1991 book), publishing details show the printing sequence (2,4,6,8,10,9,7,5,3,1). Orange boards with chocolate cloth quarter binding and gold titles to the spine. There is a discrete remainder stamp to the bottom edge. The jacket has a small nick and slight creasing to top of spine. The book has no inscriptions, or previous owner's names and the jacket is not price clipped. The third in the Sally Lockhart trilogy. Whilst Pullman has won the Carnegie Med al, the Guardian Children's Fiction Award, the Smarties Prize and Children's Book of the Year at the British Book Awards it was only the final instalment of the His dark Materials trilogy (which went onto win the prestigious Whitbred Prize, being the first Children's book ever to do so) that seems to have garnered Pullman the popular acclaim he undoubtedly deserves. Since then interest in all his rare earlier books has jumped. Signature is genuine, (I can e-mail a photo of myself with Mr Pullman should proof be required). Seller Inventory # 001645
