About This Item
This is a very clean first edition, ninth printing hardcover of James Clavell's Shogun: A Novel of Japan. This is NOT a book club edition that you commonly see that comes in two parts, but the complete novel in one giant book. This is the last print to use the original copyright date of 1975 and is nearly identical to the first prints execept for the print tracking and $17.50 price as opposed to the original $12.50.
This copy is in an original, unclipped jacket with $17.50 price. Only minor edge wear to the jacket. Book itself is in amazing condition, unmarked, only mild bumps to corners, and a clean straight spine which is VERY RARE for this book which is huge and old so prone to lean. I have seen several copies of this book and the spines are almost always sagging; I have not seen one more crisp than this.
A great gift for any new fans of the awesome new HULU hit, this is an extremely rare book, especially in this condition, and is only going to get harder to find! Feel free to reach out with any questions. Book will be sent with tracking in bubble wrap in large box to ensure safe transit.
Synopsis
A bold English adventurer. An invincible Japanese warlord. A beautiful woman torn between two ways of life, two ways of love. All brought together in an extraordinary saga of a time and a place aflame with conflict, passion, ambition, lust, and the struggle for power...From the Paperback edition.
