Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell

Fantasy novel about the last two practicing magicians in 19th Century England (Locus1).

The book was released with at least four different dust jackets:

• black lettering on white background (with red endpapers), which was used only on the 1st printing;
• tan lettering on black background (with red endpapers for the first printing and white endpapers on later printings);
• white lettering on black background (with white endpapers, a US 2nd printing);
• and a red background used (apparently) only on the 8th printing.

The author's intent based on interviews is to use the punctuation of the time, and so the title should not include a period after 'Mr'. Shortlisted for the 2004 Whitbread Best First Novel Award. (wikipedia) Longlisted for the 2004 Booker Prize.
