This book is fitted with a non adhesive archival quality book protector to make a worthy addition to your collection. Note we do not use stock images, the book pictured is the book described. A very nice example of this collectible first edition first printing title, signed by author to title page "To Roger / David Brin / 8-28-87" Uncommon in the UK. A very nice first printing copy of this title by two great modern authors. Comes with great provenance as this volume was obtained from the estate of Roger Earnshaw, SF collector, well known at British conventions and fandom, who often attended author signings.
