The Book of Dust by Philip Pullman Signed & No. Slipcased The Secret Commonweath

This is an unusual Collector's copy of the SECOND novel in the BOOK OF DUST series by Philip Pullman. This is a Signed First Edition, First Printing, UK Hardback.

This is the Cloth bound numbered slip-cased edition SIGNED by Philip on the title page. This is a very collectible signed and numbered edition. This copy is #573 of a limitation of 5,000 copies. PLEASE NOTE - THIS IS A RARE COLLECTOR'S COPY AS THE BOARDS HAVE BEEN ATTACHED TO THE TEXT BLOCK UPSIDE DOWN DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS!

THIS DOES NOT AFFECT THE BOOK'S BASIC FUNCTION AND IT MAY APPEAL TO THE MANY COLLECTORS OF RARITIES AND UNUSUAL COPIES. The Book is NEW and UNREAD. Apart from the manufacturing flaw mentioned above, the Book and its case are both in VERY FINE condition. The Book is tight and square.

The text block is toning evenly with age and is otherwise bright and clean. There is no spine lean. All corners are sharp and intact.

There is no pushing or bruising to the spine. Both Book and Slipcase are bright and clean. There is no sunning or fading.

As mentioned above, the boards of the book have been attached to the text block upside down during manufacture. This does not affect the function of the book but it may well appeal to a collector of rarities and problem editions?

Please look carefully at the photos in this listing and ask me any questions that you may have.
