About This Item
First edition hardback, a Near Fine- copy with purple remainder speckling at heel and slight glue wrinkling to inside rear gutter, in a Very Good dust jacket with price corner ripped and taped back in (quite well aligned), rubbing at head, heel and points, and age-darkening and slight grubbiness to white rear cover, and foxing to blind side. A mostly reprint anthology, though Harlan Ellison's "Shoppe Keeper" is an original. Zelany's "Museum Piece" is a reprint. With black and white illustrations by a variety of artists (though, curiously, not always next to the stories they illustrate).
