ROBOTS HAVE NO TAILS

First edition, first printing. Original orange cloth with black titles to the spine, in the Ric Binkley illustrated dustwrapper. A very good copy, the binding square and firm with light rubbing and bumping to the corners and spine tips, and a bump with a very short closed tear to the bottom edge of the upper board. There is slight offsetting to the endpapers and very light toning to the margins, the contents are otherwise clean throughout and without stamps or inscriptions. Complete with the lightly rubbed, nicked and creased dustwrapper that has a few short closed tears at the extremities and a piece of tape to the underside at the head of the spine. Not price-clipped ($2.75 on the upper front flap).

A collection of the 'Gallegher' series of humorous short science fiction stories featuring the oddball inventor Galloway Gallagher and his narcissistic robot, Joe. Collaboratively written by the husband and wife team Henry Kuttner and C. L. Moore under the pseudonym Lewis Padgett, a combination of their mothers' maiden names.
