Ken Follett THE PILLARS OF THE EARTH First Edition

First USA edition, first print hardback of THE PILLARS OF THE EARTH by Ken Follett and published by William Morrow and Company, Inc., New York, in 1989. Stated 'First Edition' with full numberline 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 on the copyright page. 

The book is in good condition (Quarter bound brown boards with stamped gilt facsimile of author's signature on front board and gilt lettering on spine which has minor creasing and very slight fading to the spine edges) with light wear to the illustrated dust jacket, which is not price clipped (slight creasing to the edges, slight chipping to the top spine edges, slight folding crease across the top corner of the inside front flap, minor tanning inside the jacket). Internally, the pages are clean and tight and there are no tears and no inscriptions. There is some 'weakness' in the spine, due to the weight of the book, but there is no lean and no pages are adversely affected. 

The building of the cathedral, with the almost eerie artistry of the unschooled stonemasons, is the center of the drama. Around the site of the construction, Follett weaves a story of betrayal, revenge, and love, which begins with the public hanging of an innocent man and ends with the humiliation of a king.
