Condition: Near Fine
Description: SIGNED BY PHILLIP PULLMAN on the Title Page. Dark blue boards with navy blue cloth quarter binding and gold titles to spine. +++ SEE PHOTO +++ Publishing sequence: 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1. First American edition. Red remainder dot to top edge. Otherwise not inscribed and 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 His Dark Materi als trilogy that seems to have garnered him the popular acclaim he undoubtedly deserves, also pleasing the critics as it won the Whitbred Book of the Year Prize - the first Children's book to do so. The trilogy has since been voted one of the top five books ever, by the British public in a national poll. A stage play has already appeared and the movie has already been commissioned with Tom Stoppard writing the screenplay.
