About This Item
London: Doubleday, 2007. First edition, first printing. Published by Doubleday in London, 2007. This is a fine copy. The dust wrapper, illustrated by Finn Campbell, has only minor rubbing at the corners and head of the spine. The boards are tight and free from chips and marks, looking immaculate in the publisher's black cloth. The text blocks are immaculate throughout and free from foxing. The marbled endpapers are crisp. The author's signature is present on the full title-page, with the authentic 'doodle of himself' present. It is flat signed, with the doodle, in black ink. A bold signature. Overall, this is a fine copy of a fine title. Exemplary. Adapted into the 2013 feature film, The Book Thief, starring Geoffrey Rush and Emily Watson. The novel follows the adventures of young Liesel Meminger. By personifying "Death" as a tangible being who narrates the story, the novel presents a unique perspective into the world of the victims of the war. There are many tangible themes throughout the entire story.
