The Folio Society is delighted to publish Umberto Eco’s witty and intelligent novel set in the worlds of publishing and conspiracy theorists. This edition has been produced in series with the 2001 Folio edition of The Name of the Rose, also illustrated by Neil Packer, which sold over 25,000 copies.
