The Hammer of Eden by Follett, Ken - 1998

New York, New York, U.S.A.: Crown Pub, 1998. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. A young FBI agent tracks down an elusive, sinister group known as the Hammer of Eden. Stated first edition. First printing with correct full number line sequence. Save for a name and notation on the front free endpaper and some very, very light soiling to the textblock edges, this is a very clean copy with no writing, marks, underlining, or bookplates. No remainder marks. Not an ex-library copy. Spine is tight and crisp. Boards are flat and true, and the corners are square. The first 30 pages or so are creased along the upper outside corners. There also seems to be some slight moisture damage to the lower 1/2" of the front and back boards. This also has affected the inside of the dust jacket, where it is more apparent and extends for an inch or so. This is not readily noticeable from the outside of the book. Dust jacket is not price-clipped but also has some soiling and scuffing to the back cover as well as some minor edge wear. This collectible, very good/very good, first edition/first printing copy is protected with an archival mylar dust jacket cover. Satisfaction guaranteed!
