About This Item
New York: The Penguin Press, 2004. First U.S. edition. Hardcover. Very good +/Near Fine. 486 pp. Octavo. [24 cm]. 1/4 maroon paper over dark green boards. With gilt stamped author's initials on front board and gilt title stamped on spine. Marbled endpapers. Spine a bit rolled and spine ends lightly bumped. Touch of soiling to textblock edges. Zafón's frame narrative of an antiquarian bookseller's encounter with a rare, one-of-a-kind book from a secret library labyrinth sets the protagonist on a search to solve a decades old forgotten mystery. Stephen King noted in "Entertainment Weekly" that the book was a superb example of a contemporary gothic novel.
