Doubleday/Foundation, NY, 1989 First Edition/Printing pink & blue hardcover, gold gilt lettering on spine, with DJ, 482 pp. True first edition of one of the most remarkable and admired SF novels in recent times. Unclipped DJ has a trace of edge wear at the back upper left corner, else fine. The book has faint hint of foxing on side text block end; else fine. A close to new copy.

Hyperion is the first book in the Hyperion Cantos, a tetra-logy of science fiction novels by Dan Simmons. The plot follows a group of pilgrims as they travel to the distant world of Hyperion and share their tales along the journey. The novel is structured in a frame narrative, similar to The Canterbury Tales and has gained critical acclaim for its complexity and literary richness.
