Special Bonus for Ordering QUICKSILVER from Hill House
The deluxe edition of QUICKSILVER is limited to 1,000 copies. Hill House has allocated 150 of these
copies to be sold direct to our customers. If you are one of the 150 people who order your limited edition direct
through Hill House, you'll receive a bonus—an 11" x 17" full-color poster featuring the Real Character described
in QUICKSILVER—and each poster will be personally signed and numbered by Neal Stephenson!
Neal's website featured a cryptic message written in the 17th century philosophical language called
Real Character—when translated into English (no small feat) it offered a prize to the first person to contact the
publisher with the correct translation.
Hill House has arranged with Lisa Gold—who created and did the translation for the original message—to create an
entirely new message for the Hill House bonus poster. It, too, features a special message that, when translated
into English, will provide the first respondent with the instructions to claim their prize.
There are only 150 of these beautiful posters printed—and the only way to get one, now or any other
time, is to order your limited edition of QUICKSILVER through Hill House. Neal Stephenson has agreed
to sign each poster, and we also include a brief manuscript describing the origins of Real Character
and the story of the first person who translated the original message.
Hill House has already taken reservations for a good number of the 150 copies—so make sure to place your order today.
