Description: UP FOR AUCTION:THE NAME OF THE WIND by PATRICK ROTHFUSS.New York: Daw Books, Inc, Date: 2007. 6x2x9. First edition, first printing, In one of the 3 jacket variants, with the proper $24.95 price. 661, [1] pp. 8vo.Author's first novel, for which Rothfuss won the Quill Award. The First book in Kingkiller Chronicles.(The second book in The Kingkiller Chronicles, The Wise Man's Fear, made it to the top of the bestsellers list, and inspired a tabletop game called Tak.) Rothfuss is known in the tabletop gaming community for his appearances on Penny Arcade, Critical Role, and Tabletop. "Told in Kvothe's own voice, this is the tale of the magically gifted young man who grows to be the most notorious wizard his world has ever seen.The intimate narrative of his childhood in a troupe of traveling players, his years spent as a near-feral orphan in a crime-ridden city, his daringly brazen yet successful bid to enter a legendary school of magic, and his life as a fugitive after the murder of a king form a gripping coming-of-age story unrivaled in recent literature. A high-action story written with a poet's hand, The Name of the Wind is a masterpiece that will transport readers into the body and mind of a wizard. 2007. SCARCE in the actual first printing. THIS IS NOT AN EX-LIBRARY OR REMAINDER COPY!Book is UNREAD! VERY GOOD+ book in a NEAR FINE+ jacket. Book has a compact text block and binding that is springy when opening. Light shelf wear to spine ends/tips with toning/soil to page edges; otherwise tight and square with NO writing, previous owner names, bookplates etc... a really solid book that just isn't quite crisp enough to grade higher. Lovely looking jacket with light wrinkle/rub to folds. Jacket is unclipped with $24.95 price intact on the front flap of the jacket. Commonly misidentified book. This is the TRUE FIRST printing, not a later printing with full 1 - 10 number line, 2007. NOT a BOOK CLUB. A collectible copy!All items are carefully packed in bubble-wrap and placed INSIDE a BOX for shipping. MEDIA RATE shipping! Insurance Is Included. I will still ship Priority if REQUESTED, but Priority can be quoted and will be charged at actual cost( minus media rate cost).IThanks for looking at my auction. Good Luck! BIDDERS, PLEASE NOTE: All images taken with a digital camera. I DO NOT use a scanner and any images of interior pages are taken carefully (The book is not flattened down to take images). Also I use a flash so some of the white "Hot" spots on the top and bottom of Books or along folds are caused by the flash and the reflection from the Mylar protector. Please refer to description for confirmation of condition.
