Books of Blood Volume Three by Clive Barker (author of Weaveworld, The Hell-Bound Heart (aka Hellraiser), Imagica, Abarat, etc) Jacket artwork by the author. First UK Hardcover Edition - First Printing London: Weidenfeld & Nicholson UK, 1985. Part of the definitive hardcover six-volume set with jacket cover art by Clive! (Simultaneously released in a signed-limited edition. Originally released as a paperback original by Sphere. US editions didn't use Clive's artwork until a Subterranean Edition four decades later.)
Near Fine in Near Fine+ dust jacket. A nice copy, not perfect, typical age-toning to the text-block. Age-toning is common with UK hardcover editions published circa 1980 to 2000. Corners tender but not really bumped, and a tiny hint of bowing out of the front board, not too noticeable. The jacket would be near-perfect save a nick to the lower right-hand corner. Still a smart copy. Copies of this edition are difficult to come by right now. Priced to sell.

NOTE on FEEDBACK: If you have problem with an order for any reason, please contact me before leaving feedback! 99% of the time we can resolve the problem. It is much more difficult to change feedback once left.
A Word on First Editions: 95% of my offerings are trade editions, and 90% of those are first printings. In general I do NOT sell bookclub editions or cheap reprints like Modern Library except in rare instances which would be explicitly stated as such. In general, I also DO NOT sell x-library copies.
If the book is both a first edition AND a first printing, it will be marked as “first edition” in the Item Specifics under “Special Attributes”, otherwise assume a later printing or a later edition.
NOTE on USPS Shipping: The US Post has graciously increased their rates! I ship on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays sometimes on Friday. I do not ship on Mondays and Saturdays.
$6 in the U.S. only via priority mail (2-4 days). Make sure your current address is on Ebay and/or Paypal!
All books are bubble-wrapped, and those costing over $50 will be placed in a box. My shipping costs are slightly more than others because I use dust jacket covers, bubble-wrap, and boxes. The extra $1 or so is worth it to protect your book!
FYI, media mail is a discount shipping rate for books and CD's. It is not the same as first class mail, and you can't expect items to arrive in the same time frame. They typically take 1 1/2 to 3 weeks. Items shipped media mail take longer than a letter which is first class.
PLEASE contact me if you would like a reduction in shipping costs for multiple purchases sent to a single address. (not always possible with international shipping.)
ATTENTION Canadian and International customers: $45 international priority mail with required tracking. (I now require international tracking on all items over $50) There may be a delay, sometimes an additional 1 to 8 weeks, if your package is inspected by your country's custom's inspectors. I cannot be responsible (and I have no control over) delays due to customs inspections. It is best to find out your country's policies in this regard.
Any further questions, please email me. I try my very best to accurately describe condition. Disputes in condition of items must be resolved within 15 days of shipment of item.
