THE LIGHTNING THIEF. True First Edition
New York: Miramax Books / Hyperion Books For Children, [2005]. First Edition (& 1st printing). Octavo, original gray boards, spine panel lettered in gilt. 377 pp. The correct first printing of the first edition, with the statement "FIRST EDITION / 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2" on the copyright page. A near fine copy in a near fine dust jacket which shows just a touch of light rubbing and has a few very faint scuffs. There is no internal or external markings - no names written in the book, no bookplates, no underlining or highlighting, etc (I always mention when there is, but many sellers do not bother). A loveley copy. The price corner ($17.95 US / $23.95 Can) is intact. Item #314656
The author's first book, the first book in the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series - one of the best-selling of all time. The book is the basis for a film, a musical, and a TV series. The true first printing of this first book is quite scarce and desirable.
Price (CAD): $300.00
