Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Gray cloth hardcover with modernist illustration and titles on cover and spine in black illustrated slip-case. The seal is broken, but intact. Book is intentionally faux-aged and camouflaged as an ex-library book published in 1949 and heavily annotated with margin notes in the hands two fictitious readers (which forms a separate mystery overlaid on the narrative). This comedic homage to travel literature and pseudo-academic prose will not fail to delight. Contains 24 fictitious "laid-in" items between the pages: post-cards, news clippings, epistles, loose notes, business cards. From the publisher's statement: "The book: Ship of Theseus, the final novel by a prolific but enigmatic writer named V.M. Straka, in which a man with no past is shanghaied onto a strange ship with a monstrous crew and launched onto a disorienting and perilous journey. The writer: Straka, the incendiary and secretive subject of one of the world's greatest mysteries, a revolutionary about whom the world knows nothing apart from the words he wrote and the rumors that swirl around him. The readers: Jennifer and Eric, a college senior and a disgraced grad student, both facing crucial decisions about who they are, who they might become, and how much they're willing to trust another person with their passions, hurts, and fears."

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Original grey cloth over boards with yellow, black and white decoration and black lettering. No slipcase. The authors have created a "book within a book" by writing a novel and annotating it with notes by two people who are reading it (after taking it from the library). It's made to look like a library book, and has dozens of items of ephemera stuck into it. Great gift for a reader who appreciates "odd". 456 pp. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Book.

Hard Cover. Condición: Very Good ++. Estado de la sobrecubierta: No Jacket - As Published. First Edition. Bound in gray cloth, stamped in black, yellow and white with matching slipcase. 456 pp. Poses as an ex-library book from 1949 with all types of material laid in. The subject matter: What is Ship of Theseus, and who is its mysterious author V.M. Straka? Conceived by filmmaker J.J. Abrams and written by acclaimed novelist Doug Dorst, Ship of Theseus is the central novel within the experience that is S., a multi-faceted narrative of love and mystery. Ship of Theseus is at its core and is the final book written by a man shrouded in deception and violence. It tells the mystical adventure of an equally mysterious figure, who is struggling to discover his own identity. Abducted onto the eponymous ship, the main character is swept into a story that spans oceans and ports, mountains and caves, capitals and citadels. Two things sustain him: his lifelong search for his love, Sola; and the infernal purpose of the ship and its crew. Equal parts Kafka and Lovecraft, Ship of Theseus is both a frightening adventure and a philosophical treasure hunt. J.J. Abrams and Doug Dorst conceived of a multi-layered novel-within-a-novel that involves handwritten notes in the margins and physical objects slipped between the pages. A bit hard to find.
