The Subtle Knife *******SIGNED & LINED UK HB 1/1******

Philip Pullman - The subtle knife - First U.K. hardback printing - Scholastic Press 1997. Fine jacket in protected archival cover - priced £12.99. Near fine boards apart from a bump bottom front panel as shown - clean and tight. Contents fine - no previous owner names or inscriptions - has the full number line including the number two on publishing page. Signed and uniquely lined for me at an early event before the series became the phenomenon it is today . The line reads ; " Beware windows in the air ! " If you are familiar with the series you will understand the relevance of this line. Author rarely adds anything now apart from a date. With the lavish new TV series this Autumn , interest in the Northern Lights trilogy will be renewed.P.
