About This Item
Stated First Edition/First Printing (Currey p. 358); A Near Fine book in a Very Good or better dust jacket. SIGNED and inscribed to noted collector Steve Landon to the front free paper (Landon has sold much of his collection in recent auctions). An outstanding copy of this collection of stories, uncommon in this condition, particularly signed. This copy is near fine condition with only a mild bump to the spine foot and slight age-toning and rubbing to the boards, else fine. Housed in a crisp and clean very good dust jacket that shows some mild rubbing and chipping to the spine ends, edges, and corners, and some light foxing to the verso of the jacket, else near fine or better. Overall, a collectible and presentable copy of this early Matheson novel, nicely enhanced with the inscription to a prominent collector. Not remaindered, not price clipped ($3.00 intact), not ex-library; in a fresh Mylar sleeve and will ship carefully wrapped in a sturdy box.
