Hardcover UK, first printing and true first edition. (The first US edition was published in September, 2004 by Dutton.) Very fine (unread) copy in very fine jacket. Not a remainder, book club or ex-library copy. Excellent Young Adult novel. "This is a novel about which the reader cannot help but feel an enormous sense of fun and warmth. The author's editorial tongue is firmly in cheek throughout, but its rip-roaring spirited and pleasurable nevertheless. Suitable for readers aged 12 and over." - John McLay.

Description de la librairie

About Top Shelf Books Top Shelf Books is a Virtual Bookshop specializing in collectible Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror hardcover First Edition books since 1991 and online since 1996. Signed editions, British (UK) editions and Nebula, Hugo and World Fantasy Award winners are also a specialty. Actual Signature Photos. Almost 300 signed First Edition books in our SF, Fantasy and Horror catalogs. Rare and Collectible Editions with their Award histories. In-depth and Accurate Book Descriptions and Conditions. We started as a mail order bookstore in 1991 in the San Francisco Bay Area. We published catalogs on a quarterly or semi-annual basis. Drafting, printing and mailing catalogs were extremely time consuming. Each catalog was written and edited in Word Perfect in the publishing mode, printed at the local Kinko's shop, assembled into catalog format by page number, address labels applied (printed from another program) and finally stamped with postage and carried in boxes to the Post Office for mailing to our customer list. Our last catalog before going online was our Spring/Summer 1996 catalog. Top Shelf Books was one of the first specialty booksellers to go online. We actually had to create the website, page by page, coding in HTML. Each book's jacket had to be scanned and uploaded.
