THE ALGEBRAIST

First edition, first printing. Signed by the author. Publisher's original brown boards with white titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A near fine copy, the binding square, firm, bright and fresh, with very slight bumping to the spine tips. The contents are clean throughout and without previous owner's stamps or inscriptions. Complete with the lightly rubbed and spine faded dustwrapper that is otherwise bright and without loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£17.99 net to the lower front flap).

Inscribed by Iain M. Banks in black ink on the title page "To Jared / best wishes / Iain M. Banks / 4 Oct. 04". The recipient is an editor and publisher of genre fiction. A Hugo Award-nominated space opera that is one of the author's few science fiction novels set outside of his 'Culture' universe.
