About This Item
First edition hardback, a Very Good- copy with spine flattened, bumping and rubbing at heel. slight bumping at head, and page block with pages 1-86 slightly misaligned with others, and a split starting at rear bottom cover join at heel, in a Very Good- dust jacket with a 1" semi-open tear at top front head join, 1" closed tear at top rear head join, wear and slight delamination starting on bottom front edge near heel, 1/4" closed tears at three points, two tackhead sized abrasions to blue sky area of author photo on rear, and other touches of wear, inscribed by Stephenson: "To Jerry Parlle/Neal Stephenson." This copy has obviously been read, and falls below what would usually be considered collectable condition for so recent a book, but this is a signed true first of this huge, immensely popular 900+ page Hugo-winning novel about cryptography and a hidden gold treasure, set both during World War II and in modern times, and makes a good candidate for a dust jacket swap with an unsigned copy. Highly recommended.
