Published by Macmillan, London; 1995. 486pp. 8vo. First edition, first impression. Condition: Near Fine/Near Fine
Bound in original black cloth boards with title in gold to the spine. The binding is square and tight, in smart condition, with no marks or damage, apart from a little bumping to the edges, a slight lean and a crease to the spine. Inside, the pages are clean and bright, free from blemishes and wear, save for a hint of toning along the edges.
The book is housed in its original, first-issue dust jacket, which is in equally smart condition. Apart from some edge wear, the jacket is vibrant and bright, free of marks.
In all, this is a collectable first edition of the second title in Wilbur Smith's Egypt Saga, in which a beautiful (and brilliant) Egyptologist must overcome harrowing (and brilliant) ancient traps as well as ruthless (and brilliant) modern enemies to properly manage the secrets of the Seventh Scroll.
