Wyndham, John : The Day of the Triffids

The Easton Press, Norwalk, Connecticut, 2002

[2002] Gray binding, full leather hardcover featuring beautiful gilt designs/gilt lettering. Frontispiece, artwork by Richard Powers, 222 pages. Sophisticated, fine binding has three raised ridges on spine. Lettering, designs stamped with gorgeous accents of 22kt. gold - a hallmark of fine bookmaking. This beautifully bound book was hand selected from individually tanned hides. Textured and shaded, acid-neutral paper won't turn yellow over time. Pages are Smyth-sewn into binding for permanence (not glued like ordinary books). Edges gilded on three sides to enhance the elegance of the book. Endpapers have repeating design. Satin ribbon page marker bound in. Condition: New, pristine. Free of binding cracks, tears. Binding gilt not chipped - fine. Free of bookplates, stickers, writing, and page tears. Book stored in temperature-controlled environment - no smelly damp stains or the smell of a previous smoker. This book is science fiction at its best. Here the author presents carnivorous plants made deadly by great size and the ability to move from one place to another, combined with the near-universal blindness of the human survivors caused by a meteor shower. The idea of groping one's way through the ruins of civilization is a striking contemporary nightmare; the Triffids (plants that are predators) became the final, dramatic threat to human survival. This is a post-catastrophe story with a biological premise. Scary. A beautiful book in full leather and gilt designs and lettering.
