First Canadian printing of each book. Issued in 1985 and 2019 respectively. Testaments is signed by Atwood; Handmaid's Tale is not. An excellent example of The Handmaid's Tale, with light spotting to top edge of textblock, a half inch closed tear to rear panel of the unclipped jacket, and only slight rubbing of the burgundy at head and foot of spine. The Testaments is as-new. Jacket of each in a removable archival sleeve.
