First edition with William Gibson's introduction, first printing. Hardcover. Limited edition. Signed by the author. Publisher's original blue cloth with titles in gilt to the spine, lacking publisher's blue cloth slipcase. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth with some faint tide marks to the upper and lower boards and just a few very light marks. The gilt is bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without previous owner's marks.
Issued in a limited edition of 300 hardcover copies, from which this example is numbered 24 and signed by Samuel R. Delany and William Gibson on the limitation page. A science fiction and counter culture classic. First published in 1975 as a paperback original by Bantam Books. A hardcover edition was published by Gregg Press in 1977, based on the Bantam edition with many errors corrected, and with an introduction by Jean Mark Gawron. This new edition features a three page foreword 'The Recombinant City' by the speculative fiction writer, essayist and cyperpunk pioneer William Gibson.
