The most famous and enduring cyberpunk novel, Neuromancer immediately defined the then-fledgling cyberpunk genre. It was originally published as an Ace paperback in 1984, followed later that year by the first hardback edition, issued in London. Such is the attractiveness of this Phantasia edition that Gibson called it the "Deluxe Neuromancer" in an inscribed copy of the trade issue we have handled. Octavo. Original white cloth, spine and front cover lettered in bronze on recessed ground, gold endpapers. With dust jacket by Barclay Shaw. Housed in publisher's white cloth slipcase. Touch of mottling to upper board edges, slipcase slightly mottled: a fine copy in fine, unclipped jacket. Peter Harrington, sold item number 150893.
