A signed later Macmillan hardcover printing (1995) of The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. Signed by the author on an affixed bookplate to the half-title page. A very good copy in the original illustrated boards, the binding firm and square, with clean pages and no inscriptions beyond the signed bookplate, showing only minor, typical handling wear.
First published in 1989, The Pillars of the Earth is Follett’s best-known and most enduring novel, a landmark work of historical fiction centred on the building of a medieval cathedral in twelfth-century England. Selling tens of millions of copies worldwide, it remains the cornerstone of the author’s career and one of the defining historical epics of the late twentieth century.
A signed example of Follett’s most important work, noting that the signature is presented on an affixed bookplate rather than directly on the page.
