The Shadow of the Torturer The Book of the New Sun Volume I by Gene Wolfe Hardcover First UK Edition - First Printing London: Sidgwick & Jackson UK, 1981 £7.95 (published in the US by Timescape/Simon & Schuster in 1980) Features wonderful dust jacket wrap-around artwork with Severian in cape with his sword Terminus Est in a dark futuristic landscape by Bruce Pennington. Still the best jacket artwork of any edition in my opinion. (Reportedly printed in 4000 hardcover copies of the Timescape Edition, probably no more than 1500 to 2000 copies in the UK.)

Dust Jacket artwork by Don Maitz. $15.95 cover price. Reportedly about 10,000 trade hardcover copies produced. Near Fine in Near Fine- A fairly nice copy, not perfect, with some reading wear and tenderness to corners, and nicks and edge-wear to the jacket, and a slight crease to the back flap. Priced to sell.
