 Fforde Jasper Shades of Grey - **Signed** + Postcard + Event Slip, London: Hodder & Stoughton, 2010.First Edition/First Printing. Hard Cover. Mint/No Jacket as Issued. Signed Without Inscription An unread copy, signed "Jasper" to the title page, issued without dust jacket, postcard and event slip included. It's Britain but not as we know it. Entire cities lie buried beneath moorland. Echoes of lost technology pepper the landscape, and there is evidence of conflict in abundance. Democracy has been replaced by Colourocracy. Visual colour dominates society, from the feed pipes that keep the municipal park green to the healing hues you view to cure illness, to a social hierarchy based upon your limited colour vision. You are what you see. Eddie Russett has no ambition to be anything other that a loyal drone of the collective. With his better-than-average red perception he could marry an Oxblood, inherit the Stringworks, maybe even make Prefect. But then he moves to East Carmine and falls in love with a Grey named Jane who opens his eyes to the painful truth behind his seemingly perfect society (Book ref. 002243) £ 20.00 The payment methods accepted by the seller, Marks & Co.
