Original purple pictorial wrappers.

Description:
New York: Simon and Schuster, 1980. The original typed manuscript: the setting copy with all the editor's and proof-reader's marks. Complete book: 400 pages, 4to. Predominantly mechanically reproduced leaves, with some original typescript insertions. Original typed insertion leaves include those for the Dedication to David Hartwell; the leaf listing other books by Spinrad; and the About the Author leaf. The editorial corrections average some ten per page, and there are occasional annotations in Spinrad's hand. Songs from the Stars was Spinrad's ninth novel. Kirkus wrote: "Earth is in the post-Smash era: much of the northern hemisphere east of California is radioactive; tribes are now divided between white and black sorcery (science); chief transport is helium-winged hang gliders with pedals. Clear Blue Lou, something of a legal circuit rider, sails over to the Sunshine tribe to settle a dispute among rival Aquarians but himself settles into the druggy, free-sex nightlife for a… Read More
