THE VIEW FROM THE STARS

First hardcover edition, first printing. Publisher's original red cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A better than very good copy, the binding square and firm, lightly faded to the extreme top edge, with some rubbing to the tail of the spine and extremities. The contents, with light spotting to pages 149-51 and the occasional foxing spot elsewhere, are otherwise clean and without inscriptions or stamps. The closed text block is a little toned to the top edge and has some light spotting. Complete with the very good, rubbed and nicked dustwrapper, which has a large and a short closed tear with associated creasing to the bottom of front panel, and a small split to the bottom of the front flap fold, all without loss. The spine and panel edges are a little toned. Not price-clipped (16/- net to the lower front flap).

A second collection of science fiction short stories, following 'Conditionally Human' (1962) by the Hugo Award winning author of 'A Canticle for Leibowitz' (1959).
