The Claw of the Conciliator by Gene Wolfe - 2009: Volume Two of the Book of the New Sun

First Illustrated Deluxe edition of the second volume of the Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe.
NOTE: This copy is NOT signed and numbered. (I am in the process of liquidating some of my Gene Wolfe collection. I also have a full four-volume set available.)
The Claw of the Conciliator bVolume Two of the Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe Hardcover First Deluxe Illustrated Edition Illustrated by Alexander Preuss. Centipede Press 2009. Folio limited to 100 copies in slipcase without dust jacket as issued. This copy appears to be an overrun copy as its not signed and numbered. It appears to have the same page as the signature page but blank. Still an incredibly difficult book to find in any state, signed or otherwise. (I would probably be asking $1500 if this was one of the signed examples)

Fine in Fine- Slipcase without dust jacket as issued. Only shortcoming: the "T" in "The" at the beginning of the title on the spine appears to be partially broken on the right-hand side of the crossbeam. Slipcase is solid with a few common dust spots.
