2005 Anansi Boys, First Edition hardback by Neil Gaiman

ISBN - 13: 978-0-06-051518-8 (acid-free paper)

05 06 07 08 09 WBC/RRD 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3

Anansi Boys is a kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth that is at once startling, terrifying, exhilarating, and fiercely funny.

Book is in very good shape but does have some type of stain at the very top that does not affect any of the words or writing. However, I have adjusted the price accordingly.

See picture of book below.
