Description: This is a first printing of Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo, published in 2012 by Henry Holt. A word of explanation about "edition" and "printing" in the world of books. While the terms "first edition" and "first printing" are often used interchangeably, "edition" actually refers to each version of a book that's released and "printing" is a count of how many times the publisher has run the printing press on a given edition. This is important because Shadow and Bone has now had multiple editions: the original hardcover version (this one); the trade paperback version; a few collector's editions (often with additional illustrations and bonuses like ribbon bookmarks) and a re-issue with a new jacket design advertising the Netflix series. The re-issue had some copies with a tipped-in signature page (an extra page signed by the author which is glued to the front of the book after printing) that is often incorrectly sold as a "first edition". It is not; it is a first printing of a later edition, typically referred to by collectors as a "first printing thus." It is also important because some sellers will advertise subsequent printings of the original edition as "first edition", which, while technically true, is very deceptive because many collectors are used to the term being used only to describe first printings of the first edition. This is a first printing from the original edition. From the publisher: Orphaned and expendable, Alina Starkov is a soldier who knows she may not survive her first trek across the Shadow Fold—a swath of unnatural darkness crawling with monsters. But when her regiment is attacked, Alina unleashes dormant magic not even she knew she possessed. Now Alina will enter a lavish world of royalty and intrigue as she trains with the Grisha, her country’s magical military elite—and falls under the spell of their notorious leader, the Darkling. He believes Alina can summon a force capable of destroying the Shadow Fold and reuniting their war-ravaged country, but only if she can master her untamed gift. As the threat to the kingdom mounts and Alina unlocks the secrets of her past, she will make a dangerous discovery that could threaten all she loves and the very future of a nation. Welcome to Ravka . . . a world of science and superstition where nothing is what it seems. ............................. Shipping combined for multiple purchases.
