In 1996 BBC Books published the UK edition of Neil Gaiman's first solo novel: NEVERWHERE. In 1997,
Avon Books published the US edition. The text of the two books is markedly different, however, due to major revisions
made by the author for the US edition.
Hill House is pleased to announce that Neil Gaiman has merged the two manuscripts into one definitive
volume: NEVERWHERE: The Author's Preferred Edition. The Hill House edition will be as elegant and beautifully
designed as our edition of AMERICAN GODS. It will be signed and numbered by Mr. Gaiman in a silk binding and
slipcase with die-cut.
In addition to the NEVERWHERE limited edition, Hill House is offering a set of two volumes, including NEVERWHERE
and a second signed volume featuring the drafts of Mr. Gaiman's six scripts for the BBC mini-series. This
volume will also contain an array of fascinating behind-the-scenes material including material from when the project had
its original title: THE UNDERSIDE, Neil's production notes on viewing the video of the first two
episodes of the series, his ideas for a follow-up series to NEVERWHERE and much more.
Limited to a single edition of just 750 copies, the book is a beautifully designed example of the art of bookbinding.
Each volume is numbered and signed by Neil Gaiman.
Collectors and readers alike will welcome the chance to add this handsome volume to their Neil Gaiman collection.
The trim size of the book is 7" x 10"—significantly larger than the trade edition.
The text of the book has been completely reset and designed.
The slipcase features a unique ribbon-pull which allows easy removal of the book.
Retail price is $tba plus shipping charges.
