GALBRAITH, Robert : Career of Evil (JK Rowling) – rare variant

Sphere 2015
 
First edition
 
Black boards in pictorial dust wrapper
 
A stunning copy of this 3rd book by JK Rowling writing as Robert Galbraith.
 
The book is in Fine condition giving the appearance of having not been read in a dust wrapper that is also Fine and just the lightest of edge bumps to the base of the rear board perhaps from shelf wear and the ‘BBC Radio 2 Book Club’ sticker to the front panel as issued at the time.
 
This is an exceptionally rare variant issue of the First Edition where the sources of the quotes to the rear panel of the dust wrapper are printed in Gold. This was only done for the officially signed 250 copies and it is thought that perhaps an unknown additional quantity of wrappers were printed and then used with a small amount of First Editions. This makes it extremely rare and highly collectable.
