About this Item

Michael Crichton (2020) Jurassic Park , Folio Society illustrated edition, published in the UK. This is from the first printing. The copy has been fittingly remaqrqued with an original sketch of a dinosaur skull by the illustrator Vector That Fox (aka Jo Breese). The artwork is numbered of six and signed as shown. The book is housed in a textured slipcase which feels like dinosaur skin . Condition: fine as published. The copy has been obviously opened for the artist to remarque the book. Production details according to the publisher: Bound in printed paper with soft-touch lamination and textured spot varnish; Set in Dante with Manito as display; 448 pages; 6 full-page colour illustrations, 1 black & white illustrated title double-page spread; 27 integrated black & white graphics; Textured paper slipcase; 9½˝ x 6¼˝ An instant bestseller on publication in 1990, Michael Crichton s novel about geneticists bringing dinosaurs back from extinction was, and remains, irresistible. The film rights were snapped up before the ink on the manuscript had dried, and the Steven Spielberg-directed movie broke box office records and paved the way for four successful sequels with a fifth due for release in 2022. Marking the 30th anniversary of its publication, this illustrated edition of Crichton s electrifying novel enhances the action-packed narrative with illustrations by artist Vector That Fox, and featuring retro recreations of period computer graphics. A scaly dinosaur skin slipcase ensures that young adult and older readers alike are fully immersed in this hair-raising adventure. Illustrations approved by renowned palaeontologist: American palaeontologist Steve Brusatte specialises in the anatomy and evolution of dinosaurs and we worked closely with him during every draft of the illustrations to ensure absolute accuracy according to the book, while also endeavouring to include the latest discoveries in the field. Artist Vector That Fox blends realism with a dramatic theme-park-inspired palette and lush jungle backdrop across the series of colour illustrations and a striking black-and-white title page spread, while her dramatic wraparound binding design oozes tension and foreshadows danger. Every computer graphic, graph and table from the original novel has been carefully recreated in period style and placed in situ in the narrative, while the display font has been specially sourced for its amusement park aesthetics. This edition pays homage to Michael Crichton s game-changing novel at the turn of every page, and it is the ultimate introduction to the prescient world he created. First and Fine.
