Arthur & George
Arthur & George by Julian Barnes, published in hardcover by Random House Canada in 2005. This is the first Canadian edition and first printing, with the numeral 1 present in the copyright-page number line. The original pictorial dust jacket is included.
Barnes’s acclaimed historical novel brings together Sherlock Holmes creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and George Edalji, a British solicitor wrongly convicted following the Great Wyrley Outrages. Drawing upon a real miscarriage of justice, the novel explores guilt and innocence, identity, prejudice, evidence and the uncertain boundary between knowledge and belief. Arthur & George was shortlisted for the 2005 Booker Prize.
This copy is signed by Julian Barnes on the title page. The signature is accompanied by a Toronto location notation and the date 25 Oct. 05, with no named recipient visible—an appealing association for this Canadian first edition.
The hardcover and dust jacket show light visible handling and edge wear. The photographed title and copyright pages appear clean, without visible highlighting, foxing or previous-owner markings. The rear jacket flap is intact with the author photograph and biography. Please review the photographs for the best representation of this copy’s condition.
