SHOES, SHIPS AND CADAVERS. Tales from North Londonshire.

First edition, first printing. Limited edition. Signed by author. Publisher's original tan cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in the Lucy Galding and Ian Whates illustrated dustwrapper. A very near fine copy, the binding square and firm, lightly rubbed to the head of the spine, and with a faint production crease to the cloth surface on the rear board. The contents are clean throughout, and without previous owners' inscriptions or stamps. The top edge of the closed text block has a couple of faint, barely discernible foxing spots. Complete with the fine original dustwrapper, which is bright and fresh, without fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£15.99 to the lower rear panel).

Issued in an edition of 50 copies, from which this example is numbered 30, and signed by Ian Watson, Paul Melhuish, Andy West, Alan Moore, Tim Taylor, Donna Scott, Susan Sinclair, Steve Longworth, Neil K. Bond (dated '10/10'), and Mark West (dated '9/10/10'), in black, blue, and purple ink on the half-title. A collection of science fiction, fantasy, dark fantasy, and horror short stories by members of the Northampton Science Fiction Writers Group.
