Book Description
Amsterdam De Bezige Bij 2005 Hardcover First Edition, #21/51 99pp. Narrow quarto [32.5 by 16.5 cm] Navy blue boards with title gilt stamped on backstrip. Fine/Fine. Double signed by the author on page five. Second published work by the acclaimed author. The author's first work, 'House of Leaves', was a publishing sensation and announced to the world the literary voice of this remarkable writer. This work had a minuscule (by publishing standards) print run of one thousand copies. Of those thousand copies, fifty-one were numbered and signed. The author has signed the volume with his usual 'Z' in red and brown (as opposed to his usual use of blue). The story takes place at a birthday party and the author has used color quotation marks to denote which character is speaking. Includes twelve full-page illustrations.
