NORTON ANDRE
Android at arms
London, Gollancz. 1972, First Edition. (ISBN: 0575014512) Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7? - 9? tall. Ex-Library, ex-library. DW shows some sunning to spine and some minor tape residue to the top and bottom edges this will remove with solvent but may show as darkened. not price-clipped although the very edge margin of the fold in flaps may have been trimmed, no text is lost though. Book boards are tidy but have darkened patches where tape residue has darkened the boards. The book inner hinges have been reinforced with paper tape, and there are cancelled stamps to both free endpapers. stamp to title and copyright page as well as a cancelled stamp over half of pp151, but it is not too obtrusive and doesn't obscure the text. In places the binding has loosened showing the spine. Overall a fairly presentable copy, better than a reading but not a keeper although the DW would certainly brighten up a better copy! scarce first hardback printing form UK publisher. Good/Very Good.
