THE BRIDGE OF LOST DESIRE

First edition, first printing. Signed by the author. Original blue paper-covered boards with a green spine lettered in gilt, in the Ned Dameron illustrated dustwrapper. A very good or better copy, the binding square and firm with a few faint marks to the lower board and a couple of tiny spots of wear to the top edge of the lower board. There is some faint staining to the top edge of the closed text block which bleeds onto the very edges of the top corner margins of the late pages, the contents are otherwise clean and without previous owners' stamps or inscriptions. Complete with the lightly rubbed and creased dustwrapper that is a little eroded to the extreme upper edge of the rear flap. Not price-clipped ($17.95 on the front flap).

Signed and dated by Samuel R. Delany in black ink on the title page. A collection of three sword and sorcery novellas: 'The Game of Time and Pain'; 'The Tale of Rumor and Desire'; 'The Tale of Gorgik'.
