A true first edition of what has become Margaret Atwood's best-known novel.

The author published a sequel, The Testaments, in 2019.

First edition, first printing; 8vo; publisher's cloth-backed boards, titles to spine in cream, brown coated endpapers, superb copy in the minimally faded, price-clipped dust jacket.
