Sobre este artículo
London: Dennis Dobson, 1965. First British and first hardcover edition of the author's work which won the 1963 Hugo Award for best novella. Octavo, original cloth. Inscribed by Jack Vance on the front free endpaper. Fine in a near fine jacket with light rubbing to the crown of the spine. Vance is the greatest living Science Fiction writer. His work continues to exhibit imagination, originality, and style, three things sadly lacking in 95% of the SF being published nowadays" (George R. R. Martin).
