DEATHLESS

First UK edition, first printing. Signed by the author. Inscribed for fellow multi-award winning author Lavie Tidhar. Publisher's original black paper-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine, in the Miriam Rosenbloom illustrated dustwrapper. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, bright and fresh, with a little rubbing and bumping to the extremities. The contents, with just a little spotting to the top edge of the lightly toned closed text block, are otherwise clean throughout and without previous owners' inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed nicked and creased dustwrapper, that remains without fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£14.99 to the lower front flap).

Inscribed by Catherynne M. Valente in black ink on the title page 'For Lavie / We'll always have / Dublin / Catherynne M. Valente'. A historical fantasy novel retelling the Russian fairy tale 'The Death of Koschei the Deathless'. Nominated for the 2011 James Tiptree, Jr. Award and the 2012 Locus and Mythopoeic Awards. Provenance: From the library of Lavie Tidhar, multi-award winning author of such works as 'Osama' (2011) and 'Central Station' (2016).
