Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Vendeur : Downtown Brown Books, Portland, OR, Etats-Unis
Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near fine. First Edition. The first hardcover edition of the author's first book, published as an Ace Double about the time he turned 20. This edition follows the second American edition, based on Delany's original manuscript, which was about 30% longer than the first edition. In 1976, the Gregg Press published Delany's preferred text. 189, [3:blank] pages. First hardcover edition, first printing (with no indication of later printings). A fine copy in a near fine dust jacket with a £1.25 price sticker over the original 25/- printed price. The price probably dates to 1971, when the UK switched to decimal currency. The two prices are the same otherwise. This copy is inscribed to David Hartwell, an editor at Gregg Press. Hartwell's private press also published Delany. Hartwell later edited Delany's Hugo Award-winning memoir, The Motion of Light in Water. A nice association copy. "Best to David Hartwell- -from Samuel R. Delany. n.y.c. 79.". Signed.
