Never read straight from Barnes & Noble. Was bought brand new but they didn't package the order properly so there are dings and scuffs on the book from retailer shipping. As a result I am selling as like new instead. Please see the multiple photos for reference. This product is a signed deluxe edition of Andy Weir's novel "The Martian", published by Penguin Random House. The book, written in English, falls under the genre of science fiction and is personalized by the author. It is a hardcover format and is in hand ready to ship. This is a valuable addition to any book collection for fans of the genre.
