Published in 40 countries, Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy--"The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife," and "The Amber Spyglass"--has graced the "New York Times, Wall Street Journal, San Francisco Chronicle, Book Sense," and "Publishers Weekly" bestseller lists. In 1996, " The Golden Compass" changed the face of fantasy publishing, and 2006 marks its 10 Year Anniversary--and an opportunity to celebrate with a deluxe hardcover. Pullman created new material just for this edition (archival documents, scientific notes and "found" letters of Lord Asriel) which has been illustrated and handlettered by renowned British artist Ian Beck and will be included in the back matter. The deluxe edition also features Pullman's own chapter opening spot art. A quality collectible--with the enticement of never-before-seen new material--for Pullman fans.

Industry Reviews

Review, USA Today (circ: 2, 192,098), November 1, 2007:
"The 1996 novel, published for children but widely praised by grown-ups, is set in a British world where everyone has a personal 'daemon, ' the manifestation of his or her soul in animal form ... Pullman ... has seen an early cut of the film without its computer-generated effects and calls it 'rich, strange and wonderful.'"

Review, Entertainment Weekly (circ: 1, 830, 769), November 9, 2007:
"The polar bear warriors in THE GOLDEN COMPASS ... are just part of the vast fantastical metaverse explored by young Lyra Belacqua in a $150 million adaptation of the first book in Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials"trilogy."
-"Holiday Movie Preview"

"Pullman, meanwhile, is handling the controversy gracefully...the British author wagered that the hullabaloo 'will make more people see the film.'"
