Ready Player One SIGNED by ERNEST CLINE Hardback True 1st Edition & Printing

Ready Player One True 1st Edition Signed by Ernest Cline. This is an as new 1st Edition & Printing hardcover of Ready Player One Signed by Ernest Cline.

This is the true 1st edition, and there are pictures where I have put it side by side with the new NYT edition. 1st is the dust jacket (pictures 6 and 7), the Crown logo is different, and the front is obviously different with the New York Times Bestseller across the front. Someone COULD just slap one of the old dust jackets on a newer one, though, so also there is. 2nd: The title page the Crown logo is also different (page 8).

The 1st edition has a Sunburst C logo, while the newer one is mostly text. Please be aware of these difference as you look for true 1st editions vs the 1st NYT Bestseller edition. Both are obviously really great copies to own, but very different in terms of scarcity (the NYT edition was part of the Barnes and Noble Black Friday and there were over 20 copies at each store) and this original 1st edition which is very rare in pristine condition and extremely rare signed. Its the year 2044, and the real world is an ugly place. Like most of humanity, Wade Watts escapes his grim surroundings by spending his waking hours jacked into the OASIS, a sprawling virtual utopia that lets you be anything you want to be, a place where you can live and play and fall in love on any of ten thousand planets.

And like most of humanity, Wade dreams of being the one to discover the ultimate lottery ticket that lies concealed within this virtual world. For somewhere inside this giant networked playground, OASIS creator James Halliday has hidden a series of fiendish puzzles that will yield massive fortuneand remarkable powerto whoever can unlock them. For years, millions have struggled fruitlessly to attain this prize, knowing only that Hallidays riddles are based in the pop culture he lovedthat of the late twentieth century. And for years, millions have found in this quest another means of escape, retreating into happy, obsessive study of Hallidays icons. Like many of his contemporaries, Wade is as comfortable debating the finer points of John Hughess oeuvre, playing Pac-Man, or reciting Devo lyrics as he is scrounging power to run his OASIS rig. And then Wade stumbles upon the first puzzle. Suddenly the whole world is watching, and thousands of competitors join the huntamong them certain powerful players who are willing to commit very real murder to beat Wade to this prize. Now the only way for Wade to survive and preserve everything he knows is to win. But to do so, he may have to leave behind his oh-so-perfect virtual existence and face up to lifeand lovein the real world hes always been so desperate to escape.
