About This Item
Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein (author of "Stranger in a Strange Land", "Rocket Ship Galileo", and "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress") Limited Hardcover Artist Edition Suntup Press 2021 illustrated by Thomas Canty in a limited edition of 750 copies in slipcase. Fine as NEW in shrink-wrap.
NOTE: The original first edition of Stranger in a Strange Land was published in 1961 by G.P. Putnam's Sons US. It is regarded as one of a handful of science fiction novels which pushed on the boundaries of sf from being merely an escapist genre into higher literature. (Dune by Frank Herbert, some of the work of Philip K. Dick and Ursula Le Guin also pushed the genre creating a sub-genre of literary science fiction.) First edition copies in fine condition generally fetch about $4000+ so this is a wonderful alternative and probably the best edition of this book ever published. This title is regarded as one of quite possibly Heinlein's best novel and one of his most popular.
NOTE: The second picture of this listing shows the actual copy for sale. The other pictures were taken from Suntup's website.
