Description: Up for auction is a Very Rare, SIGNED First Edition/Fourteenth Printing of City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. The Mortal Instruments. Book One. The FIRST Book in the Series!! The book that started it all!! SIGNED Copies are Scarce and Becoming Exceedingly Hard to Find!! Hardcover with its original dust jacket, NOT price-clipped! Original price of $21.99. Published by McElderry, 2007. Boldly SIGNED by the celebrated author! NOT inscribed, simply SIGNED by the great Cassandra Clare! A First American Edition/Fourteenth Printing with the number line ending in "11". Please remember this is NOT the First Edition/First Printing of this title! This is the Fourteenth Printing of the First Edition. Some would classify this copy as being a First Edition Thus, a First Edition/Later Printing, a First Edition/Early Printing and so on. Sadly, we have even seen some sellers advertising their copies as a First Edition/First Printing when they are clearly NOT a True First/First. We have chosen to go with the most specific classification possible which is why we simply refer to this copy as a First Edition/Fourteenth Printing. Once again, please remember this is NOT a First Edition/First Printing. This rare treasure has some very clearly visible wear, but is still in Highly Collectible condition! The wear, however, is extensive and should be carefully examined/considered BEFORE buying. The book appears gently read and has no internal writing, no foxing, no remainder marks, no missing or ripped pages and is NOT Ex-Libris or a BCE. The binding is tight and the pages are still surprisingly crisp and clean! Some general/shelf wear along with creases/indentations/wear to the spine/corners/cloth boards, wear to the edge/fore pages and creases/wear to some of the pages, NOT affecting the text! Please note the wear to the spine/corners/cloth boards, particularly noticeable near/along the edges! The wear has resulted in some clearly visible altering of the shape/cloth. Please also note the creases/wear that is present on some of the pages, varying in size and severity. The wear is very clearly visible and should be carefully examined/considered. The original dust jacket is fully intact and NOT price-clipped! Some general/shelf wear along with creases, chipping, scuffing and rubbing/marks. Please note the wear on the spine, at the corners, on both the front and rear inside jacket flaps and near/along the edges! The wear very clearly visible and should be carefully examined/considered. We tend to grade the condition of our books rather harshly and took into consideration any and all wear when determining the value of this rare treasure. Our VERY LOW asking price is a reflection of that consideration and if this copy was in better condition our asking price would be considerably higher. We purposely and closely photographed what we consider to be the most obvious and egregious wear. Once again, while still being in Highly Desirable condition, the wear to both the book and the dust jacket is extensive! The wear is VERY clearly visible and should be carefully examined/considered BEFORE buying. Numerous photographs from various angles were taken for your consideration/inspection. Please closely and carefully view ALL the pictures for further clarification!! Following the conclusion of the auction, payment must be received within three days or the book will be re-listed. Please feel free to contact us with any and all questions. We are very proud of our 100% positive feedback/ranking and offer an easy, no questions asked return policy so you can buy with confidence! Thank you!!
