Fine Binding. Condition: As New. Adamovi?, Yana (illustrator). Limited Edition. Spectacular limited edition of Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein'. Published by the Croatian fine press, Amaranthine Books, in a limitation of only 300 copies, this being #109. Signed by Marko Matijasevic (creative concept) and Yana Adamovi? (illustrations). Removed from publisher's shrink wrap but o/w as new and will be sent in publisher's protective packaging. This copy comes with the 'swag' that was only available with books purchased directly from Amaranthine: print, sticker and notebook (sealed in publisher's shrink wrap). The Doctor Edition of 'Frankenstein' attempts to incorporate the spirit of Dr. Victor Frankenstein and his (mis)deeds. It is quarter-bound in finest black goatskin leather and aluminium. The use of aluminium was inspired by an operating table and therefore a real surgeon's needle was blocked onto the front cover. The spine is blocked in silver, while the detailing on aluminium is engraved with laser. There are eight illustrations inside (two spreads) that are sensitive to heat, so they transform upon touch, which means each illustration has two phases. There are illustrated drop caps for every chapter, handmade cellular pattern marbled endpapers by Freya Scott, silver page edges, and several hidden design details. Printed offset on Fedrigoni Savile Row 100g paper. Smyth sewn with black thread. The book comes in a solander box lined with purple velvet which was inspired by a doctor's tool bag from that era. The box also houses a bookmark in the shape of a doctor's scalpel. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. This is a truly unique and extremely tactile version of 'Frankenstein' which was limited to only 300 signed and numbered copies, sold out quickly at the publisher, and is scarce on the secondary market. A must have for collectors. Additional images available on request or these may be viewed on my eBay listing. Heavy/oversize book. U.K. postage at default charge but overseas buyers may be asked for extra. All orders professionally packed, tracked and/or signed-for, and insured. Signed by Artist(s).

ABOUT FRANKENSTEIN. Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel written by Mary Shelley about a creature produced by an unorthodox scientific experiment. Shelley started writing the story when she was eighteen, and the novel was published when she was twenty-one. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818. Shelley's name appears on the second edition, published in France in 1823. Shelley had travelled in the region of Geneva, where much of the story takes place, and the topics of galvanism and other similar occult ideas were themes of conversation among her companions, particularly her future husband, Percy. The storyline emerged from a dream. Mary, Percy, Lord Byron, and John Polidori decided to have a competition to see who could write the best horror story. After thinking for weeks about what her possible storyline could be, Shelley dreamt about a scientist who created life and was horrified by what he had made. She then wrote Frankenstein. ABOUT THE AUTHOR. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (UK: /ˈwʊlstənkrɑːft/; née Godwin; 30 August 1797 1 February 1851) was an English novelist who wrote the Gothic novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (1818), which is considered an early example of science fiction. She also edited and promoted the works of her husband, the Romantic poet and philosopher Percy Bysshe Shelley. Her father was the political philosopher William Godwin and her mother was the philosopher and women's rights advocate Mary Wollstonecraft. Mary's mother died less than a fortnight after giving birth to her. She was raised by her father, who provided her with a rich if informal education, encouraging her to adhere to his own anarchist political theories. When she was four, her father married a neighbour, Mary Jane Clairmont, with whom Mary came to have a troubled relationship. Signed by Illustrator(s).

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Illustrated by Bernie Wrightson (illustrator). 2nd printing (see notes). (black cloth with silver foil lettering and oval pastedown illustration affixed to front cover; no dust jacket, as issued) [a beautiful, as-new copy with no discernible wear; bound-in ribbon bookmark]. (pen and ink drawings) SIGNED by illustrator Bernie Wrightson on the half-title page, also dated "12 03 10" in his hand. The Shelley classic, immeasurably enhanced by the illustrations of renowned graphic artist Bernie Wrightson, whose stunning pen-and-ink drawings (41 full-page, one double-page, two double-spread endpaper illustrations, and a title page design) embody the artist's wish to evoke the style of early nineteenth-century woodcuts and steel engravings. A beautifully-produced edition of one of Wrightson's crowning achievements (on which he worked for seven years) and possibly the most significant published visualization of the novel since the famous Lynd Ward edition of 1934. Although it's not stated very prominently within the book itself, this was the 25th anniversary edition of the book that was originally published by Marvel Comics in 1983; the Introduction, by Stephen King, is reprinted from the original edition. NOTE that while this book is stated on the copyright page to be a "First Edition, 2008," the number line just below that statement ends in 2, hence this is a second printing of the 2008 edition. ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.

Since we wanted to create two distinct editions, they share a deep connection, just like the doctor and its creation. The covers are inspired by an operating table and that is why we used aluminium as the main feature, which is then quarter-bound in the finest black leather, and then the spine was blocked with silver foil. Most importantly a real surgeon s needle was blocked on the front cover, while other details were engraved with laser. The goal was to have covers that can proudly claim the title of The Doctor Edition. Once you open the book, you ll be met by handmade marbled endpapers done by the legendary Freya Scott. They were done in a cellular pattern so to make one additional connection with Victor s profession. When you reach the title, you will find a hidden surprise in the book s title. But the creative concept for this title is where the book truly shines. It is based upon our insight that this is a story about connection, or rather the lack thereof. The Monster is constantly trying to connect with people. Signed by Illustrator(s).
