The Gargoyle
A signed and personalized hardcover copy of The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson, published by Random House Canada in 2008. The number line identifies this copy as a fourth printing. It retains the distinctive pictorial dust jacket with an intentional heart-shaped die-cut opening that reveals the fiery heart design beneath.
Davidson has inscribed the illustrated half-title page to Sheila and dated it February 12, 2009. The inscription includes a large original black-ink drawing built around the book’s heart motif, the message “Enjoy your travels, and all the best,” and the author’s signature. This elaborate personalized presentation makes the copy especially appealing to collectors of signed Canadian fiction.
Davidson’s bestselling debut is a gothic story of love, suffering, faith, and redemption. After a devastating car crash leaves its unnamed narrator severely burned, the mysterious sculptor Marianne Engel enters his hospital room and claims that they were lovers in medieval Germany. Her tales of their shared past gradually draw him away from despair and into an extraordinary story spanning centuries. The novel was selected as a Richard and Judy Best Read 2009 title and was among the works nominated for the 2010 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.
The seller grades the book Very Good. Light shelf and edge wear is visible on the dust jacket, particularly around the spine ends and corners. The heart-shaped jacket opening is part of the original design and is not damage. The photographed inscription and copyright pages appear clean and legible. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.
