Published by Houghton Mifflin in 1986, this is an early printing of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale — issued during the novel's original publication year, the year after its Canadian first edition. This is a later printing rather than a first, offered here at an accessible price point for the reader who wants an early copy of one of the most significant speculative fiction novels of the 20th century without the first edition premium.
The condition is the strong suit of this copy. Binding square and firm with no corner bumping, text block clean and entirely free of markings or inscriptions. The dust jacket is intact with minor creases, small tears, and some staining to the rear panel. A genuinely solid reading or shelf copy.
For a first edition of this title, contact us directly — we're always scouting.
