Michael Joseph, London, 1971. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Good. Illustrator: Rafal Oblinski – Cover Art. Blue coloured boards with metallic copper coloured titles on the spine. Illustrated dustwrapper, by Rafal Oblinski, with white and orange coloured titles to the front panel and spine. Set in a post-apocalyptic world in 2058, and, deals with Shira Shipman, her son and her elderly grandmother. This is the world of multi-corporations and their people who live in splendour; and the rest of the world living in damaged environment and at the mercy of those who have the most power. Shira and her grandmother have created a cyborg, and the multis want the information – the most powerful commodity of the time. " ... As her story unfolds, the parallels with the story of the Jewish ghetto in Prague in 1600 become clearer." -- from the front fold over panel blurb. Softening and a little rubbing of the backstrip edges and rubbing of the book corners. Very light age toning of the text block edges. To the top edge of the title page a previous owner has placed the central character's name "Shira". Chipping of the top backstrip corners with rubbing and creasing of the edges. There is a 1 inch tear to the top right-hand corner of the rear panel. Some rubbing of the panels with a little fading of the backstrip. This is the first UK edition. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
