Quicksilver - limited US edition

by Neal Stephenson - signed

Book one in THE BAROQUE CYCLE. Not the true first, but a signed, slip-cased limited edition, this is one of 1000 special editions produced by Hillhouse Publishing in conjunction with Harper Collins.

Gorgeous production printed on heavy paper stock, oversized 7x10 trim size, with two color printing throughout. Much different from the trade edition. The volume is numbered and signed by the author and is hand-bound in steel-gray-colored Japanese silk. The book is housed in a handsome slipcase also covered in the same Japanese silk with a die-cut aperture for The Quicksilver icon. The slipcase features a silk ribbon pull for easy removal. A pristine unread copy, very fine in all respects.

Included in this purchase was a signed first trade edition of 'The Confusion' as well as a signed and numbered custom made poster with a limitation of 150 copies featuring a cryptic message written in the 17th century philosophical language called Real Character.
