Grey coloured cloth covered illustrated boards with black coloured embossed titles to the front panel and back strip. Illustrated slip case with silver coloured titles and illustration to the back strip. Purportedly written in 1949 by V. M. Straka, it is in fact a book written in 2013 by J. J. Abrams and Doug Dorst as a exercise in book creativity and a homage to the written word. The book with its mysterious author are traded between two students, Eric and Jennifer, as they try and find out who the author really is. Loosely inserted is a lot of "ephemera" (all in situ as far as I can tell) and the to students have written copious notes, in various coloured pens, in the margins Book itself is in very good condition with just a little rubbing of the book corners and back strip edges.

Mulholland Books / Melcher Media, October 2013. Reprint. Cloth . Very Good/No Jacket. 3rd printing. Octavo inn printed cardstock case. Seal has been opened, though it is difficult to tell whether this has actually been read.

Includes 22 loose page inserts (letters, photos, postcards, and more) and all 22 seem to be present. Abrams and Dorst collaborate under the pseudonym V.M Straka.
