About This Item
London: Hamish Hamilton, 2005. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fine. An extremely scarce UK Uncorrected Proof Copy of the author's international bestseller which was subsequently filmed. This copy has a HARDCOVER binding. While it is not unknown for proof copies to be published in hardback (W.G. Sebald's novel Austerlitz, e.g.) in the UK it is most unusual for them to be issued in both formats, i.e. softcover and hardcover and this example is the only such that I have come across since the book was published. The publisher has used the American sheets for this version and therefore the title page identifies Houghton Mifflin as publisher. Hamish Hamilton's logo is at the foot of the backstrip, however, and the printed text at the lower cover identifies Hamish Hamilton as publisher. In Fine condition, with bumps to the spine tips and the corners of the front board. Very rare, thus, a real collector's item!
