MITCHELL, David. Cloud Atlas. London: Sceptre. 2004. 8vo. First edition, first printing. Publisher’s maroon cloth lettered in turquoise gilt to the spine, in the striking dust jacket by design duo Kai and Sunny, and with the uncommon publisher’s bellyband with a preview quote from the Guardian. This copy signed without dedication by the author to the title page with Mitchell’s customary zest, name struck through and all. A fine copy, the book clean, bright and sharp, top- and fore-edge a trifle bumped but minor. The binding tight and square, the contents fine without issue. The dust jacket unclipped (£16.99) and fine.
A spectacular example of Mitchell’s magnum opus (thus far), his third and most famous novel, a sprawling metafictional, maximalist novel of genuine top-drawer, must-read quality. Basis for the 2012 film of the same name directed by the Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer and starring Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving, Jim Broadbent, and many others.
