About This Item
West Bloomfield, MI: Phantasia Press, 1986. First edition thus. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. The first US hardbound edition of William Gibson's debut novel, a cyberpunk classic that won both the Nebula and Hugo awards as a paperback original in 1984. This edition includes a new, two-page introduction by the author that was published for the first time here. The UK edition, published by Gollancz, was the first hardcover edition, and it has become one of the most sought-after SF titles of the 1980s.
This very attractive edition from Phantasia Press (IMHO, they put out the nicest limited editions of the era), is bound in undyed cloth, with metallic paper endpapers, and a dust jacket with wrap-around art by Barclay Shaw stamped in bronze metallic ink. There were just 375 numbered copies signed by William Gibson on a sheet tipped-in at the back of the book (plus a trade issue of 1200 unsigned hardcovers). For a limited edition of such a key book, that's a relatively small number of copies. First US hardcover edition (first printing). A fine copy in a fine dust jacket and slipcase. The slipcase, bound in the same light-colored cloth as the book, is still fresh and clean. A beautiful copy. This is number 40 of 375 signed copies.
