Pullman, Philip. The Subtle Knife: His Dark Materials Vol II. Scholastic, London, UK, 1997.

Price: US$7667.32 + shipping

Condition: As New

Description: This is a genuine UK first edition/first printing, with the full numberline on the copyright page ie 2 4 6 8 10 9 7 5 3 1 (some copies have a number 1 in the line but are missing the 2, and there is debate about whether they are 'true' first printings). This is the real thing. Flat-signed by the author, in blue ink, to the title page, and unmarred by a date or dedication. Both book and jacket are in astonishing condition, and look exactly as they did on the day of publication. The pages are dazzlingly white. The gilt lettering and green boards are immaculate. The £12.99 price is intact, and the interior is extremely tight and completely unmarked. This book has literally never been opened (except to check its numberline and condition), let alone read. There cannot be a more perfect copy. More photos available on request.
