More Information
Philip Reeve, born 1966, came to prominence with his first book,
Mortal Engines. Part of the huge post Harry Potter wave of juvenile literature,
this is one of the few to stand the test of time and survive the hype. Not only
that but it was nominated for the Whitbread and won the Smarties Award. The
series has continued with two other books, to date, and they have lost nothing
in terms of quality. Needless to say this has brought collectable interest. The
second and third in the series had very large print runs are are available for
very reasonable prices. Serious collectors may want to consider buying only
signed copies. The first book is scarcer and does attract a premium. Collectors
should note to issue point on the dust jacket and also ensure the number 1
appears in the printers key on the copyright page. The other titles have been
hampered in terms of collectability, not just because they have been
overshadowed by his main series but also the format of the books.
