The Eyre Affair - 1st UK edition 

by Jasper Fforde - signed

A great fantasy tale! 'There is another 1985, somewhere in the could-have-been, where Wales is a Soviet Republic, Dodos are available in home-cloning kits, the Crimean War is 131 years old, and the ending of Jane Eyre is less than satisfactory ... - and a woman called Thursday Next. In this utterly original and wonderfully funny DEBUT novel, Fforde has created a feisty, loveable heroine and a plot of such richness and ingenuity that it will take your breath away. 

Book is cyan blue boards with the title in silver on the spine. Jacket is intact at GBP 16.99 and always mylar-protected.
