About This Item
Garden City, New York: Nelson Doubleday, Inc., n.d., [1981]. First combined edition and first hardcover editions of last two titles of volume two. First printing with code "L 44" on pages 311 and 531. Fine copies in fine dust jackets. (29425). Octavo, two volumes, jacket art by Boris Vallejo, boards. Issued by the Science Fiction Book Club. Volume two has an introduction by Roger Zelazny. "These books deal with a decadent race who once mastered all science. Each Lord, as he calls himself, can now literally build himself a private universe -- a pocket universe, as it is called -- to his own design and with its own laws of physics ... The books are totally lacking in significance, relevance, or symbolism -- and they are just pure fun to read." - Lester del Rey, review in Analog, December, 1977.
