THE HANDMAIDS TALE 1ST PRINT Hardcover 1st Edition-M. Atwood-Bonus Alias Grace

Description: ONE-OF-KIND LISTING Featuring-Not Just One, but Two-very special Editions of the 1986 Literary Benchmark, THE HANDMAID’S TALE by Margaret Atwood. The 2 Editions are: 1. The True 1st Edition, 1st Printing Hardcover and Dust Jacket released September of 1986 G-VG 2. The actual Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) or Advanced Uncorrected Proof (AUP) from February 1986. This is a paperback bound version of ‘the book’ sent to a few thousand book critics, reviewers and designated readers. As you know, the ARCs are the final (uncorrected) version of the book that is reviewed for errors, one last time before publishing. There can also be marketing /distribution info included with the ARC, as you can see in some of the pictures. Good. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own these 2 early versions of an incredible piece of literature. You, the buyer, would likely be one of only a few hundred collectors with both of these editions. ——————————————- 2 BONUS books will be shipped with Handmade’a Tale, as a small thank you for the purchase: 1. Oryx & Crake 2009 Commemorative Bloomsbury Hardcover Edition ( see below). 2. Blind Assassin, also a 2009 Commemorative Bloomsbury Hardcover Edition.

The books are ‘naked’ hardcovers, bound in colored paper, silver foiling with a silver ribbon bookmark. The cover designs are by David Mann, and the cover, endpaper and illustrations by Victoria Sawdon. The book spines contain text that spells out “ATWOOD70”.
