Blade Runner
New York: Random House, 1982. 1st Edition. Octavo, publisher's pictorially illustrated stiff paper wraps.
Photo-novel edition of the "story of the future" we wish we could look back on, Ridley Scott's 1982 film adaptation of Philip K Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? starring Harrison Ford, Sean Young, Rutger Hauer and Darryl Hannah. Originally published in 1968, Dick’s best-known novel follows android bounty hunter Rick Deckard as he is tasked with "retiring" fugitive androids in post-apocalyptic San Francisco. Ahead of its time, the existential and political themes the novel explores are with time only becoming increasingly relevant. Illustrated with more than sixty color stills from the film. First printing with complete number row to copyright page. Light rubbing and edgewear to wraps, with small pencil notation to lower wrap. Very good. Item #12792
