Published in 40 countries, Philip Pullman's His Dark
Materials trilogy--The Golden Compass, The Subtle
Knife, and The Amber Spyglass--has graced the
New York Times, Wall Street Journal, San Francisco
Chronicle, Book Sense, and Publishers Weekly
bestseller lists. In 1996, The Golden Compass changed
the face of fantasy publishing, and 2006 marks its 10 Year
Anniversary--and an opportunity to celebrate with a deluxe
hardcover. Pullman created new material just for this
edition (archival documents, scientific notes and "found"
letters of Lord Asriel) which has been illustrated and
handlettered by renowned British artist Ian Beck and will be
included in the back matter. The deluxe edition also
features Pullman's own chapter opening spot art. A quality
collectible--with the enticement of never-before-seen new
material--for Pullman fans.
