First Hardcover Edition with the "K27" code on page 325 and the 4017 code to the back flap; A Near Fine book in a Near Fine dust jacket. Apparently SIGNED by the author to the title page. An outstanding copy of this collection of short stories by one of the 20th Century SciFi Masters; edited by Mark Hurst. This is the SFBC edition, published by the Berkley Book Club; it is the true first (and only) hardcover edition of this book. This copy is in near fine condition with bright yellow boards with sharp purple lettering, a square tight binding, and clean white pages throughout; the book does show some light spotting to the exterior text block and some mild rubbing to the board edges, else fine. Housed in a crisp and bright near fine dust jacket that shows some minor rubbing to the spine ends, edges, and corners, and one small closed tear to the top of the back panel (a small repair unobtrusively done to the inside of the jacket. An exceptional copy significantly enhanced by Dick's signature; scarce in today's market; price reflects lack of provenance for the signature. Not remaindered, not ex-library; in a protective Mylar cover and will ship in a sturdy box. We are always buying quality books!
