Not a book club edition. Not price clipped ($17.95). Jacket praise from Terry Carr and Gregory Benford. From the Dust Jacket: "Nightglider roamed a mysterious world. Robot cleaning machines patrolled the abandoned corridors, and mechanical servants presided over empty restaurants that echoed to the sounds of Muzak. This was the giant Hotel, where human beings had regressed to savagery and tribes of cannibals hunted one another... The outside world had long since been forgotten. The hugeness of the Hotel had become the entire known universe... Before he could reach this legendary leisure zone, Nightglider must fight his epic battle with Big Knife; and even after that, there would be the mysterious Hotel Mind to contend with. This giant computer, monitoring the entire labyrinth of rooms and elevator shafts, had a mission in mind for Nightglider -- a mission that promised to uproot him from paradise and plunge him into strangeness beyond even the Hotel itself." . First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. Fine condition/Fine dust jacket. Illus. by Potter, J. K. (jacket painting). 8vo. 263pp . Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

Sobre About Books

About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you wish to visit us to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
