About This Item
Century/Legend: London, 1988. First edition (& 1st printing). Hardcover. Fantasy novel. 640 copies printed. First issue with pages 240 and 241 transposed. INSCRIBED, SIGNED AND DATED AT TIME OF PUBLICATION BY THE AUTHOR/''For the only real Lady Di (and her Mike), this flame, but not the sleep, is for you. Jonathan Carroll 28.10.88 London''. Scarce - the publisher pulped the entire print run and printed it correctly, except for a few copies that had already been sent out for review. The ''News For Release'' sheet that is laid in with the review slip, states ''We would like to apologise for the fact that pages 240 and 241 of this book are printed in the wrong order. This mistake will be corrected when we print the main run but in the meantime we thought it more important to let you see a faulty copy rather than waiting untiul nearer publication time''. Note: the Doubleday hardcover was issued in 1989, one year later than this UK edition. Fine copy in a fine dustjacket (as new) with review slip and other material laid in.
