THE SHADOW OF THE WIND

First UK edition, first printing. Signed by the author. Publisher's original red cloth with bronze titles to the spine, in the 'Ghost' designed dustwrapper. A very near fine copy, the binding square and tight with just a little bumping at the spine tips. The cloth bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without previous owner's marks. Complete with the original dustwrapper that is faintly creased to the corners and otherwise without fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£12.99 to the lower front flap).

Signed and dated by Carlos Ruiz Zafón in black ink on the title page. 'La sombra del viento' was first published in Spanish in 2001 and became an international bestseller. This first edition in English was translated by Lucia Graves.
