A lovely example of this signed numbered limited-edition of an early collection of 12 short stories from award-winning prolific English author and writer Christopher Fowler (1953 - 2023).   He is best known for his acclaimed 'Bryant & May' crime series, which started in 2003 and ran for 20 books.




'The Bureau Of Lost Souls ' published by Century, London in 1989, 1st edition, standard modern cloth-bound book, [viii] + 244 pages. 






Flat hand signed by Christopher Fowler in blue pen at the title page (this is his early signature style) and he has also hand numbered this as copy number 71 from this special limited-run of 250 slipcased editions.


In fine unread condition, tightly and squarely bound, no internal markings, red ribbon page marker, all edges of the text block are sprayed gilt, marbled endpapers, gilt lettering to the front board and spine, no dustjacket as issued, housed in a matching coloured cloth slipcase.







This is a collection of tales of urban paranoia about desperate people in seemingly ordinary situations - workers in offices and friends in pubs, husbands and wives in apartments and houses.  All of them the most unlikely people to find themselves trapped within their personal vision of hell.
