Amulet of Samarkand GN (2010) # 1 1st Print (8.0-VF)

1st printing. Written by Jonathan Stroud and Andrew Donkin. Art by Lee Sullivan. Nathaniel, a young magician-in-training, thinks he's ready to take on more challenging spells. With revenge against the proud and ambitious Simon Lovelace on his mind, he masters one of the toughest spells of all and summons Bartimaeus, a 5,000-year-old djinni, to assist him. But summoning Bartimaeus and controlling him are two different things entirely, and when Nathaniel sends the djinni to steal Lovelace's greatest treasure, the Amulet of Samarkand, he finds himself caught in a whirlwind of magical espionage, murder, and rebellion.
