Signature is genuine, (I can e-mail a photo of myself with Mr Pullman should proof be required). Since then, the trilogy has been nominated one of the top 5 books ever, by the British public. Whilst Pullman has won the Carnegie Medal, the Guardian Children's Fiction Award, the Smarties Prize and Children's Book of the Year at the British Book Awards it was only the final instalment of the trilogy (which went onto win the prestigious Whitbred Prize, being the first Children's book ever to do so) that seems to have garnered Pullman the popular acclaim he undoubtedly deserves. The printing sequence (10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1) The book has no inscriptions, remainder marks or previous owner's names and the jacket is not price clipped. ++ SIGNED by AUTHOR to one of his personalised bookplates ++ The first American edition, of this the first book in the His Dark Materials trilogy, in England it was called The Northern Lights. Still, the title The Golden Compass - and the bizarre story surrounding it - will always be associated with His Dark Materials.Hardcover. HBO's more recent series casually avoided this problem by using the name of the entire franchise instead. Despite this - and the widespread presence of the true name of the first book in the series - The Golden Compass lent its name to the first film version of the story, the 2007 flop staring Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig. It was never meant to be singular or to even see the light of day. The "golden compass" of The Golden Compass was never meant to refer to the alethiometer. The switch from Pullman's (and Milton's) original plural to the singular is perhaps evidence that the association to the alethiometer was already in the publishers' minds, even if Pullman had never intended it. Regardless, the name was still a compelling enough title for the U.S. It's unclear whether they had accepted that the titular compass was not, in fact, Lyra's alethiometer at this point.
