Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 370 pages. Published in 2014. The author's sixth book to be translated into English. One of Javier Cercas' finest achievements. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United Kingdom. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. There is NO American Edition. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Javier Cercas' "Las leyes de la frontera" in a felicitous English translation as "Outlaws". The title's literal translation, "The Laws of The Border", has a different - and emotionally powerful - resonance in an English-speaking world, Great Britain and the United States, about unwanted immigrants and "porous" borders that the novel itself is not about, and therefore could not be used. "Expands our idea of what fiction can do" (Juan Gabriel Vasquez). An absolute "must-have" title for Javier Cercas collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Javier Cercas. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. Since his signature is undecipherable (as personal signatures usually are), Cercas thoughtfully wrote his name down again underneath in legible letters. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such double-signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (British) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: There is NO American Edition. Copies available online have serious flaws, are in subsequent printing, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. One of the most brilliant novelists of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO JUAN GABRIEL VASQUEZ TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1408850451. Signed by Author.

Quarto, paperback,192 pp.,colour photographs, maps. A first-time paperback edition of this popular title. From the Mojave Desert in the USA to the Italian Dolomites, and from South Africa's Cape National Park to the Stirling Ranges of Australia, this book showcases the most spectacular displays of wild blooms on the planet. Each site account begins with a locator map and info panel detailing timing, key species etc. This is followed by an informative and readable account by the expert author (who has personally visited nearly all of the sites covered) accompanied by a handful of stunning images of each location showing off the displays of flowers. In addition there are chapters on the animal life that can be found at these sites, and on the conservation status of the locations covered in the book. Many people travel widely in search of spectacular displays of flowers, but are guided only by word-of-mouth information, or by what organised tours are available. This book sets out to rectify this gap. However, it aims to be much more: the most 'flowery' places in the world are exceptionally spectacular at their best, and the beautiful photography in the book allows a broad audience to enjoy these sights without even leaving the house.
