Life of Pi
By Yann Martel
First Canadian edition, first impression. Signed by the author to the title page. The true first edition published by Knopf in September 2001, preceding those of the US and UK, which were issued the following year. Winner of the Booker Prize in 2002 and later adapted into a successful film in 2012.
Original yellow cloth with red lettering to spine. A little compression to spine foot, else fine. The original and unclipped dust jacket, featuring artwork by Jamie Bennett, has very trivial traces of wear to spine head, but is otherwise fine and sharp.

By Fyodor Dostoevsky

Original red and black pictorial cloth with lettering to spine in gilt and light blue endpapers, paste-downs and topstain.
