A remarkably sharp and well-preserved copy of this hardcover edition. The black cloth boards are robust, clean, and entirely free from corner-bumping, while the gilt spine lettering remains exceptionally bright and unrubbed. The binding is taut and square, suggesting the book has been scarcely read, if at all. Internally, the pages are crisp, bright, and completely devoid of foxing, toning, or previous ownership inscriptions. The unclipped dust jacket is similarly excellent, retaining its original high-gloss finish and deep colour saturation without the sun-fading often seen on this title. It shows only the most minuscule trace of edge wear at the spine tips, presenting beautifully overall. An excellent collector's copy of a British horror staple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: This is a true first edition, first impression of James Herbert’s chilling psychological horror, published by the New English Library in 1985.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eThe copyright page displays the necessary hallmarks of the first printing, and the dust jacket retains its original price on the lower front flap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eWhile first editions of Herbert's mid-1980s works were printed in substantial numbers to meet commercial demand, finding a copy in such impeccably bright, unread condition, with a truly crisp, unfaded dust jacket and no secondary ownership markings, is increasingly un-common.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eFleeing a traumatic past and the horrific visions that plague his mind, Jonathan Trevayne seeks refuge on the remote, peaceful island of La Moye. But the island’s tranquility is soon shattered by a series of gruesome, inexplicable murders. As the violence escalates, Trevayne realises with mounting dread that the monster responsible is intimately connected to his own psychic abilities. The island’s isolation transforms from a sanctuary into a trap, forcing Trevayne to confront a deeply buried, bloodthirsty evil that threatens to consume everyone around him.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55387037598035,"sku":"6176","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20261012_130907.jpg?v=1792054434","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/moon-james-herbert-1st-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
