The Folio Society American Psycho (Limited Edition) – Limited to 750 copies worldwide. Book is now in hand and ready to send to you – book #447. Illustrated By David Hughes. Introduced By Irvine Welsh. Bret Easton Ellis’s cult classic is unleashed in a bold new limited edition, fully illustrated by David Hughes. Bound in leather and housed in a pinstripe-lined clamshell box, this dark satire of 1980s excess comes complete with Patrick Bateman’s infamous business card – sharp, stylish and deeply unsettling. Famous and controversial even before its release, American Psycho is one of the most vilified and celebrated novels of the late 20th century. Both disturbing and thought-provoking, the novel forces us to confront uncomfortable truths about identity, materialism and our modern capitalist society, and by marrying Bret Easton Ellis’s divisive and dangerous text with David Hughes’s funny and disturbing illustrations, this the perfect edition of the satire on American yuppie culture of the 1980s. Bound in white leather blocked with lettering by David Hughes. Printed in red and black ink throughout. Letterpress printed label signed by the author. Presented in a clamshell box covered in Skivertex material, screen-printed with a design by the artist. Presentation box lined in printed Savile Row Plain Blue paper with a letterpress printed business card in pocket. 10 inches x 6¾ inches. Frontispiece and 8 colour illustrations by David Hughes, 4 of which are double-page spreads. Limited to 750 copies.
