Here we offer the first edition (which was printed in Canada), of the classic dystopian novel, The Handmaid's Tale, by Margaret Atwood, published by McClelland and Stewart, Toronto, in 1985. The book comes wrapped in the highest quality remastered facsimile of the first edition dust jacket that you can only get here, printed with archival pigment inks on coated heavyweight bond. The polymer coating on the paper ensures the brightest colors and sharpest prints, as the ink sits atop the paper rather than being absorbed into the fibers.

Boards are edgeworn (please see pics). Uninscribed endpages bear an uninscribed bookplate.  Very tight and square binding; very clean, bright and crisp text.  The dust jacket comes secured in an acid-free mylar sleeve and ready to slip into your collection. 324 pages. The book measures approximately 9.25 x 6.25-inches. A very fine copy of this classic!

This classic first will make a wonderful centerpiece to your collection or a very thoughtful gift.
