About This Item

"In the not distant future the world hasn't changed so much---men and women still fall in love, laugh, and sip wine---but some have changed, some will live forever as retreads, old souls implanted surgicallyh in the empty bodies of the young". 419 pages. Good only copy [some mustiness relatively minor to my sense of smell, spine concave, boards somewhat bowed/cocked so ajar at the fore-edge, scattered fore-edge crimping; all marring an otherwise Near Fine copy with tight clean text and uncracked hinges] in VG or better Dust Wrapper [some edge crimping, spine, two nicks to the top edge, short tear to the rear panel, upper corner fold to the front flap]. .

About biblioboy
We are biblioboybiblioboy dealers in Books, Stamps, Ephemera, Victorian Trade cards, Magazines, Postcards, Sheet Music, Engravings, and much more. I started out as a book collector and soon progressed to owning a book store with over 80,000 books and more than 10,000 pieces of ephemera, postcards, and other items. I exhibited my stock for years at book and paper shows around the eastern United States. As the book and paper business has changed over the years, I have changed the way I do business to evolve with the times. I now offer my items for sale on the web only, through my various listing services and web sites. Being a a collector, as well as a dealer, I understand the importance of condition, as well as rarity of an item, and the desire to own scarce and one of a kind items.
