Add to basketHard Cover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. Philip Pullman - The subtle knife - First U.K. hardback printing - Scholastic Press 1997. Fine jacket priced £12.99. Near fine boards - light crease top of spine. Contents fine - no previous owner names or inscriptions . Has the number line 1 - 10 but…missing the number two - lot of debate as to whether this was a publishing error but many firsts have this. Uniquely signed and lined for me at an event before the series became massive - author rarely adds anything now besides a date. Line is ; " Maintain the boundaries of your world " If you have read the book the meaning of this line is an integral part of the Northern lights story . With the new TV lavish series of Northern Lights coming this Autumn , interest will gather further momentum in Pullman's classic trilogy.P. Signed by Author.

Add to basketHard Cover. Condition: Near Fine. Near Fine. First Edition. Philip Pullman The subtle knife First U.K. hardback printing Scholastic Press 1997. Near fine jacket priced £12.99- light wear top of spine. Near fine book boards light wear top and bottom of spine. Contents fine- no previous owner names or inscriptions has the full num…ber line including the number 2. The book has been signed and lined uniquely by the author on the title page thus ; " Avoid soul eating spectres !" If you have read the book you will understand the relevance of this line. As the signing event was still at the time before this series became acclaimed as the phenomenon it grew into , the author was still amicable to acceding to my request of the line the author is now averse to adding anything at his signings beyond the date of the event. As far as I am aware , no other copy has this line. This book was damaged in production the page block had come away from the spine and cracked , resulting in some of the pages having a few millimetres tear in the centre where the separation had occurred. I sent this to a book repairer to see what could be done he had to re-case the page block and replace the front and end board papers . There is invisible tape binding between pages 17-21 in the core of the pages I had to look hard to see it was there ! The outcome has resulted in a handsome edition of this rare book , even with the mentioned issues. With the lavish TV series of Northern Lights due soon , there is bound to be an added increase in the authors work.p. Signed by Author.
