First edition, first printing. Publisher's original black cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in the Richard Hollis designed dustwrapper. A near fine copy, the binding square and tight, bright and fresh. The pages are toned due to the poor quality paper used in production, however the contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed dustwrapper that is a touch faded to the spine and otherwise without loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£3.95 to the lower front flap). Scarce.
The author's critically acclaimed first collection, comprising 'All the King's Men' (1965), 'Exit from City 5' (1971), 'The Exploration of Space' (1972), 'Me and My Antronoscope' (1973), 'An Overload' (1973), 'Mutation Planet' (1973), 'The Bees of Knowledge' (1975), 'The Cabinet of Oliver Naylor' (1976) and 'The Problem of Morley's Emission' (1978). "... sharper and more substantial than Borges" ('Michael Moorcock's top 10 science fiction novels', The Guardian, 2001).
