THE ROSE

First edition, first printing. Original burgundy paper-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, bright and fresh. There are a few faint marks to the closed text-block fore-edge, the contents are otherwise clean throughout and without stamps or inscriptions. Complete with the very good original dustwrapper that is rubbed at the spine and front panel and has a few tiny closed tears at the edges. Not price-clipped (18s on the front flap).

A collection of three works by Charles L. Harness; the Hugo-nominated novella 'The Rose', the short story 'The Chessplayers' and the novelette 'The New Reality', all of which were first published in science fiction magazines. 'The Rose' appears here in book for for the first time.
