Dustwrapper has its original price of 16.99GBP. Dustwrapper promo band is present and also in Fine condition. Dustwrapper protected in Mylar. Ships same or next business day very well protected in plastic bubble wrap inside a box. Interestingly, the text of the UK edition is somewhat different from the text of the US edition. Mitchell worked closely with the editors at Hodder and Staughton on changes to the text, but those changes were never sent to Random House in the US. The new editor at Random House (the original editor had left the company) made changes to the text and never sent those to Hodder and Staughton in London. David Mitchell has said he was too inexperienced an author at that point in his life to ensure that the texts matched. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 529 pages; Signed by Author
