Gregg Press first hardcover edition (first printing stated) of this oddity by Niven and Pournelle. If you want the book, you already know about it. However, what makes this copy special is that it is a genuine presentation copy: a present from Larry Niven to Bill Rotsler on Rotsler's 57th birthday, and so inscribed. Very slight bumping on the spine, else an apparently unread copy. Rotsler and Niven were friends through the Los Angeles Science Fiction Society (LASFS) and LASFS gave away Rotsler's books at a convention after he died. This contains the LASFS bookmark from that give-away. I could include a photo, but all these Gregg Press books look alike!

Niven and Pournelle's first best-seller, first edition/first printing with full number line on verso of title page. Signed by both authors, on the double-page title page (Pournelle on the left page, Niven on the right). No inscription. Book ahows a slight spine lean, a small ding on the lower right front board, and general signs of having been read. Dustjacket is unclipped, and has a small ding in the center of the front cover over Dr. Pournelle's name and slight delamination near the spine -- some signs of use. The signatures are probably fairly early -- Niven didn't correct the error late in the book on this copy. A reasonable copy of this very desirable book.
