About This Item
First UK edition, first impression (Rapp & Whiting, 1970). Originally published in the US the previous year.
Publisher's original brown cloth with silver lettering to spine and upper board. A little spotting to edges with slight lifting to fore-edge of front paste-down, contents nice and clean and free from names and inscriptions. The original and unclipped dust jacket has a little faint soiling to rear panel and toning to spine panel verso, near fine otherwise. An excellent copy.

Synopsis
Ubik is a 1969 science fiction novel by American writer Philip K. Dick. In 2005, Time magazine named it one of the 100 greatest English-language novels published since 1923; critic Lev Grossman described it as "a deeply unsettling existential horror story, a nightmare you'll never be sure you've woken up from".
