The unread book is tight and square with solid hinges and binding, good tips, and clean unmarred boards. Faint crease to spine tail. The textblock is clean with no writing, bookplate, or markings and not BCE, ex-library, or remaindered. The dust jacket is unclipped ($25.00) and Fine. Protected in a new Brodart Mylar cover. 253 numbered pages. 5¾ x 8½" tall.
This is a special edition that was released for sale by independent bookstores, and it includes an addition to Marienbad, the novel written by Olive Llewellyn, one of Mandel's characters in the novel. A novel of art, time, love, and plague that takes the reader from Vancouver Island in 1912 to a dark colony on the moon five hundred years later, unfurling a story of humanity across centuries and space. It is a story of time travel and metaphysics that is as human and tender as it is intellectually playful.
