A propos de cet article

Philip Reeve . Mortal Engines . Scholastic Press 2001. Near fine u.k. uncorrected proof copy . Has a small orange sticker base of spine , probably removable but would leave a mark. Covers clean with light wear and stain back cover. Contents fine- no owner names or inscriptions. Author usually refuses to sign his proof copies because they contain too many errors but in this case he has actually flat signed it and added the comment; An uncorrected proof copy of Mortal Engines packed full o` mistakes? Comes with the rare promo card for Mortal Engines and a promo book mark for the sequel Predator`s Gold. A rare and unique package which with the release of the new film is likely to grow in value and collectability.p.
