Description: Discovery of Dragons - Graeme Base - First Edition Hardback - Fantasy Art & Myth. ISBN:0-670-87156-7 This beautiful and rare First Edition Hardback is in Near Mint (NM) condition. Never been read. Only opened to take these pictures. Condition of book itself is immaculate. Has small imperfections at edge of dustjacket, and one corner of dust jacket (see images) due to storage. Otherwise book would be 'Mint' or 'Brand New' condition. This rare edition expands on the illustrations from Graeme Base's calendar 'Dragons Draaks & Beasties'. In writing content, Base invents a trio of correspondents whose letters chronicle their discoveries of dragons in various continents. Beautiful illustrations showcase the kind of intricate detail for which Base is so well known. The letters themselves are hilarious, with humour that is often subtle and somewhat dark. All ages. I am reluctantly selling my complete collection of Dragon paraphernalia and other multitude of books, comics and fantasy collectables, due to moving in the new year and I am wanting to find a good home for these treasures. This is my first listing. Note: Amazon selling this same rare First Edition as new, for prices ranging from $126.59 to an astounding $685.00.
