Hardcover in dust jacket. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition (Thus). This book is hard-bound in blue covers with gilt stamping to the spine, in a very nice dust jacket. The covers show some light rubbing to the corners and spine-ends. The binding is solid. The contents are bright and clean, with nice bright color illustrations. This book is signed/signed by the author, Yann Martel and by the Illustrator, Tomislav Torjanac on the title-page. From the collection of Cuthbert Christian Thambimuttu (1945-2019) of Columbus, Ohio - known to many of his bookseller, author, and illustrator friends as "Tubby." He was persistent in the pursuit of autographed books by the writers and artists he admired, including Gorey, Sendak, Heaney, Byatt, Morrison, Updike and many more. Joseph Heller once wrote to Tubby in response to one more "please sign and return" request: "This is turning out to be a hell of a lot of work!" All signed books unconditionally guaranteed to be authentic. Many of the books are inscribed to both Cuthbert and his great friend of more than two decades Antonia Gale Moss.
