This is a rare opportunity to own a limited edition set of Philip Pullman’s The Book of Dust, which includes the first two books: La Belle Sauvage and The Secret Commonwealth. The edition is signed by the author himself, making it a must-have for any fan or collector. Don’t miss out on the chance to add these unique and valuable books to your collection. This exclusive limited edition is a must-have for Philip Pullman fans and collectors. This specially designed hardback, cloth-bound edition in a cloth slipcase, finished with gold and silver foil, is limited to 5,000 copies. Each copy is signed by Philip Pullman, numbered and stamped with a blind-embossed John Lawrence engraving. The beautifully designed silver pantone end papers echo the content of the book, and the cover illustration is a newly commissioned piece by Chris Wormell. Sporting glorious cover art from master British illustrator Chris Wormell, Pullman declared that I’ve admired Chris Wormell’s artwork for a long time, and when the chance of having him illustrate the covers of my new novel came along I leapt at it. It’s been a delight to see the work emerge and I’m thrilled with the result. Now, in The Secret Commonwealth, we meet Lyra Silvertongue. And she is no longer a child.. The second volume of Sir Philip Pullman’s The Book of Dust sees Lyra, now twenty years old, and her dæmon Pantalaimon, forced to navigate their relationship in a way they could never have imagined, and drawn into the complex and dangerous factions a world that they had no idea existed. Pulled along on his own journey too is Malcolm; once a boy with a boat and a mission to save a baby from the flood, now a man with a strong sense of duty and a desire to do what is right. Theirs is a world at once familiar and extraordinary, and they must travel far beyond the edges of Oxford, across Europe and into Asia, in search for what is lost – a city haunted by dæmons, a secret at the heart of a desert, and the mystery of the elusive Dust. The Secret Commonwealth is truly a book for our times; a powerful adventure and a thought-provoking look at what it is to understand yourself, to grow up and make sense of the world around you. This is storytelling at its very best from one of our greatest writers. Not suitable for younger readers. Both books are new and unread, however, only Book 2: The Secret Commonwealth is still in its plastic foil. Book 1 has slight marks on outer cover and edges of outer cover. Please see photos above. Any further questions or requests for extra photos are more than welcome.
