He had lived in this revolving laboratory... for nine years. However, Matt would soon be eighteen, and not all the young people could stay -- otherwise the Can would burst at its seams... In this briskly paced science-fiction novel human relationships take on an extra dimension against the exotic background, which seems to have a life all its own. Life, in fact, is what the Can's occupants are seeking, and with Matt's help they find it - under strange and unexpected circumstances." Cited in Barron's ANATOMY OF WONDER.. First Edition (stated on copyright page). Hardcover. Publisher's blue boards/DJ Not Price Clipped (6.95). Illus. by Davis, Donald (jacket art). 8vo. 192pp..

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.

Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
