An Instance of the Fingerpost
Signed first U.S. edition, first printing of An Instance of the Fingerpost by Iain Pears, published by Riverhead Books in 1998. This is a hardcover copy with its illustrated dust jacket and is flat signed by Pears on an interior page, with no inscription visible. The complete number line ending in 1 confirms the first printing.
Set in Restoration-era Oxford, this ambitious historical mystery follows the suspicious death of a New College fellow through four competing first-person accounts. Pears combines murder, political intrigue, early scientific experimentation, religious conflict and questions about the reliability of evidence and memory. The novel won the Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers Award.
The seller grades this copy Very Good. The dust jacket is shown beneath a clear removable protective cover, with light shelf scuffing or rubbing and minor edge and corner wear visible on the jacket or protector. The photographed copyright page appears free of visible writing, although the photographs do not document every page or text-block edge.
Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description and show the actual copy offered.
