About This Item
Glass and Amber by C.J. Cherry Hardcover First Edition - First Printing - Numbered Trade State Nesfa 1987. 1/1000 numbered copies, #376 (the first 225 were signed and slipcased) This is one of un-slipcased copies (no. 376 of 1000), Fine in Very Good Dust Jacket, the book itself in yellow cloth is fine, however the dust jacket is not perfect. Has a long 1.5" slit to the upper left-hand front corner, and rubbing and edgewear in other places. Still very difficult to find and this example would make a perfect reading copy. Typically runs $125+ in a better dust jacket. My last copy in better dust jacket sold for $135.
Nesfa Press has, since 1972, published many collections by some of the top writers of science fiction and fantasy, including Jack Vance, Roger Zelazny, David Brin, Robert Bloch, Isaac Asimov, Tanith Lee, Gene Wolfe, Tim Powers, Glen Cook and many others.
NOTE: All modern books with dust jackets come with dust jacket covers.
Synopsis
Glass and Amber is a 1987 collection of short stories and essays by science fiction and fantasy author C. J. Cherryh. The book was published by NESFA Press to commemorate Cherryh’s appearance as the Guest of Honor at Boskone 24, a science fiction convention. Only 1,000 copies were printed, and each is individually numbered on the copyright page. The first 250 numbered copies were autographed by Cherryh and sold in slipcases. Some of these were also signed by Barclay Shaw, the cover artist.
