Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: None,As Issued. First Edition/First Printing. A square solid tight clean carefully read copy. J. J. Abrams and acclaimed novelist Doug Dorst create a reading experience like no other in this dazzling novel of love and mystery. In his first-ever idea for a novel, Abrams conceived… of and developed a multi-layered literary puzzle of love and adventure. At its core, we have a book of mysterious provenance. In the margins, another tale unfolds: hand-scribbled notes, questions, and confrontations between two readers. Between the pages, online, and in the real world, you will find evidence of their interaction, ephemera that brings this tale vividly to life. Abrams turned to PENHemingway Award- and Shirley Jackson Award-nominated novelist Doug Dorst, author of the acclaimed novel Alive in Necropolis (Riverhead, 2008) and story collection The Surf Guru (Riverhead, 2010), to write this novel. Together, Abrams' vision and Dorst's expert craftsmanship redefine the novel. All interactive items, 22 total that were with the book when it was published/released with all present and accounted for. Book is housed in an illustrated slipcase which does have some light rubbing wear. Gift quality conditiion. THIS COPY IS IN MY POSSESSION AND NORMALLY SHIPS NEXT DAY. This copy has been removed from the illustrated slipcase examined and/or read carefully with no damage by previous owner at least to my naked eye. Book.

Add to basketHard Cover. Condition: Very Good ++. No Jacket - As Published. First Edition. Bound in gray cloth, stamped in black, yellow and white with matching slipcase. 456 pp. Poses as an ex-library book from 1949 with all types of material laid in. The subject matter: What is Ship of Theseus, and who is its mysterious author V.M. Straka?… Conceived by filmmaker J.J. Abrams and written by acclaimed novelist Doug Dorst, Ship of Theseus is the central novel within the experience that is S., a multi-faceted narrative of love and mystery. Ship of Theseus is at its core and is the final book written by a man shrouded in deception and violence. It tells the mystical adventure of an equally mysterious figure, who is struggling to discover his own identity. Abducted onto the eponymous ship, the main character is swept into a story that spans oceans and ports, mountains and caves, capitals and citadels. Two things sustain him: his lifelong search for his love, Sola; and the infernal purpose of the ship and its crew. Equal parts Kafka and Lovecraft, Ship of Theseus is both a frightening adventure and a philosophical treasure hunt. J.J. Abrams and Doug Dorst conceived of a multi-layered novel-within-a-novel that involves handwritten notes in the margins and physical objects slipped between the pages. A bit hard to find.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. I opened this extraordinary book to make certain it was a first edition; what I did not realise was it is a truly fascinating and unique book imagined by J.J. Abrams and written by Doug Dorst. It is not only a straightforward work of fiction. It is doubly so! It is made to look as if it… was published in 1949, and among other mysteries it is also faked up as a library book - from a fictitious library of course! Thus there are many deceptions going on. One is the annotations within the text; remarks and clarifications, as if handwritten. And then, most unusually, there are many inserts loosely laid in throughout the book. Postcards, letters, bills even a compass. The text paper is faked to look old. There are library stamps and some slight foxing, all of it faked! This book can be read as a novel. It can also be read as an annot=ated work in progress. J. J. Abrams and Doug Dorst have an obvious fascination with the written word, and of the history of a world of books. A stunning and very original production.

Hardcover. Condition: Collectible - Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Royal octavo, hardcover, near fine in near fine slipcase. Includes mimeographed letter from author laid in. Purportedly written in 1949 by V. M. Straka, it is in fact a book written in 2013 by J. J. Abrams and Doug Dorst as a exercise i…n book creativity and a homage to the written word. The book with its mysterious author are traded between two students, Eric and Jennifer, as they try and find out who the author really is. students have written copious notes, in various coloured pens, in the margins as part of the book. As the book is purportedly published in 1949 an ex library including due back stamps to the rear paste-down and library sticker to the lower back strip edge. The book has been artificially aged with age toning of the text block edges and pages with foxing also present. Cute idea; interesting book. Book.
