Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. First Edition/First Printing. A square solid tight clean carefully read copy. J. J. Abrams and acclaimed novelist Doug Dorst create a reading experience like no other in this dazzling novel of love and mystery. In his first-ever idea for a novel, Abrams conceived of and developed a multi-layered literary puzzle of love and adventure. At its core, we have a book of mysterious provenance. In the margins, another tale unfolds: hand-scribbled notes, questions, and confrontations between two readers. Between the pages, online, and in the real world, you will find evidence of their interaction, ephemera that brings this tale vividly to life. Abrams turned to PENHemingway Award- and Shirley Jackson Award-nominated novelist Doug Dorst, author of the acclaimed novel Alive in Necropolis (Riverhead, 2008) and story collection The Surf Guru (Riverhead, 2010), to write this novel. Together, Abrams' vision and Dorst's expert craftsmanship redefine the novel.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Gray cloth hardcover with modernist illustration and titles on cover and spine in black illustrated slip-case. The seal is broken, but intact. Book is intentionally faux-aged and camouflaged as an ex-library book published in 1949 and heavily annotated with margin notes in the hands two fictitious readers (which forms a separate mystery overlaid on the narrative). This comedic homage to travel literature and pseudo-academic prose will not fail to delight. Contains 24 fictitious "laid-in" items between the pages: post-cards, news clippings, epistles, loose notes, business cards. From the publisher's statement: "The book: Ship of Theseus, the final novel by a prolific but enigmatic writer named V.M. Straka, in which a man with no past is shanghaied onto a strange ship with a monstrous crew and launched onto a disorienting and perilous journey. The writer: Straka, the incendiary and secretive subject of one of the world's greatest mysteries, a revolutionary about whom the world knows nothing apart from the words he wrote and the rumors that swirl around him. The readers: Jennifer and Eric, a college senior and a disgraced grad student, both facing crucial decisions about who they are, who they might become, and how much they're willing to trust another person with their passions, hurts, and fears."

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. 1st Edition. I opened this extraordinary book to make certain it was a first edition; what I did not realise was it is a truly fascinating and unique book imagined by J.J. Abrams and written by Doug Dorst. It is not only a straightforward work of fiction. It is doubly so! It is made to look as if it was published in 1949, and among other mysteries it is also faked up as a library book - from a fictitious library of course! Thus there are many deceptions going on. One is the annotations within the text; remarks and clarifications, as if handwritten. And then, most unusually, there are many inserts loosely laid in throughout the book. Postcards, letters, bills even a compass. The text paper is faked to look old. There are library stamps and some slight foxing, all of it faked! This book can be read as a novel. It can also be read as an annot=ated work in progress. J. J. Abrams and Doug Dorst have an obvious fascination with the written word, and of the history of a world of books. A stunning and very original production.

This copy is in very good condition as a hardback written in 1949 by V.M. Straka and heavily annotated by two students who comment on everything within and outside the pages of the book.
