Price: US$778.43 + shipping

Condition: Fine

Description: ++ SIGNED by AUTHOR to the Title Page. The first American edition, of this the first in the His Dark Materials trilogy. +++ SEE PHOTO +++ The printing sequence (10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1) The book has no inscriptions, remainder marks or previous owner's names and the jacket is not price clipped. Whilst Pullman has won the Carnegie Medal, 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 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. Signature is genuine, (I can e-mail a photo of myself with Mr Pullman should proof be required). Whilst the UK editions are more coveted, the US editions are rarely found in a decent condition.
