If on a Winter's Night a Traveller by Italo Calvino: Vintage Quarterbound Classics

A beautiful hardback edition of Calvino's genre-switching masterwork. A book of surprise and adventure but you, the reader, are the hero. You go into a bookshop and buy If on a Winter's Night a Traveller by Italo Calvino.

You like it. But alas there is a printer's error in your copy. You take it back to the shop and get a replacement.

But the replacement seems to be a totally different story. You try to track down the original book you were reading but end up with a different narrative again. This remarkable novel leads you through many different books including a detective adventure, a romance, a satire, an erotic story, a diary and a quest.
