First edition hardback, a Fine- copy with just a bit of bend at head and heel in a Near Fine dust jacket with 1/2" closed tear on bottom front dust jacket near spine, moderate edgewear at heel and a tiny bit on bottom edge near outer edge, and a tiny bit of very light discoloration to very tops of white flaps. His first short story collection, including his Shaper/Mech stories, plus "Flowers of Edo," "Green Days in Brunei," etc. A central cyberpunk text. Highly recommended.
