About This Item
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2011. First edition of this work by the award-winning author. Octavo, original illustrated boards. Signed three times by legendary jacket designer Chip Kidd, once on the front jacket panel, once on the title page and again on the rear jacket panel. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design and illustration by Chip Kidd. "Murakami is like a magician who explains what hes doing as he performs the trick and still makes you believe he has supernatural powers . . . But while anyone can tell a story that resembles a dream, it's the rare artist, like this one, who can make us feel that we are dreaming it ourselves" (The New York Times Book Review).
