About This Item
First edition hardcover, with dust jacket, published by Fedogan & Bremer, 1993. This is the first of two collections of Copper's 'Solar Pons' stories published by Fedogan & Bremer. The dust jacket is intact and is not price clipped. The jacket has been protected with a clear, removable, Brodart brand, library quality cover. No wear to report on the jacket. 239 pages, black cloth covered boards, with sewn binding. Author name and title imprinted on the spine in gold, all letters are crisp and not worn or rubbed. Very nicely printed by the Maple Press Company, one of 1,900 trade copies printed. Included are four new novellas of the Solar Pons character created by August Derleth. This copy is not a library discard, not a remainder copy. No former ownership marks, no writing on the text pages. The boards are flat and the corners are straight, no edge wear. The sewn binding is tight and square. The edges of the text block are clean. This would appear to be an unread, unused copy. We have the 'Recollections of Solar Pons' listed too. The attached photos are of the copy we have in our inventory.
