Library Additions: Signed True First of Lauren Beukes’ The Shining Girls

From the “Distant Stations Heard From department, here’s something that might be hard to come by in the future:

Buekes, Lauren. The Shining Girls. Umuzi (South Africa), 2013. First edition hardback, #224 of 1000 copies signed and numbered by the author, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket, new and unread. Precedes both UK and U.S. editions.

A few notes:

  • The front and rear boards have one color decorations.
  • Full color photographic montage endpapers.
  • Copyright page states: “First edition, first printing 2013/9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1.”
  • No price on dust jacket (but it does have a UPC code at rear).
  • Dust jacket has 1″ foldover flaps at top and bottom.

    • I think this is the first South African book I have in SF library. Not sure how many of those thousand will make it up and over across the pond…
