THE BOOK OF DUST: The Secret Commonwealth. ***SIGNED FIRST EDITION + RARE PROMOTIONAL ELEMENTS***

Descripción:

First edition, first printing. SIGNED to title-page. A pristine copy of the "signed special edition", also known as the "indie" edition that was made available only to independent booksellers within the UK. This edition includes an extra exclusive illustration by Chris Wormell not included in the regular trade edition, and the boards bear a different design too. Very Fine (as new) in dust-wrapper. Complete with the promotional bookmark. Also complete with BOTH states of the promotional PRE-RELEASE SAMPLERS. These small, concertina-folded booklets (measuring approx. 4" x 6") are popular in their own right as items of Pullman ephemera, but are relatively rare when paired together as here. (Note: the first sampler contains the extract that begins "As darkness was falling." The second sampler bears an exclusive new extract roundel to its front, and contains the "Moonlight and Bloodshed" extract). Offered by D B WATERS RARE BOOKS: Professional, full-time booksellers of fine, select 1st editions, established in 1998. As befits a rare book, all dust-wrappers are housed within transparent, removable protectors. All our stock is fully guaranteed as authentic, a sample of which is presented here on this website. As long-established specialist sellers, we never stock any first edition that is devalued by serious flaws such as price-clipping, dedications, remainder dots, or owner markings, etc. A small, boutique business with an enviable client base. Philip Pullman specialists for over 20 years. Managed by David, a holder of a Masters degree in Modern Fiction from the UEA, and published author by Nightjar Press.
