About This Item
London: Gollancz. London, Gollancz, 1977. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A fine copy. An important association copy, inscribed by the author to Ann Pym and Mary George. Pym and George were two of Aickman's closest friends, particularly in later life. Aickman lived with the pair for a number of years, with most of the stories from this collection having been written whilst Aickman was there - this is mentioned in the inscription too. A lovely association. Aickman dedicated Cold Hand in Mine to George and Pym. The present copy comes from the estate of Ann Pym. Gathers together seven short stories. His sixth collection, three stories herein previously published in anthologies. A little bumping to the spine tips. [11115, Hyraxia Books]. . Fine. Hardback. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 1977.
