Signed by the author on the first page. In a galactic economy, the sheer abundance of everything makes tangibles almost worthless. The real fortunes, that buy and well words and suns and peoples, are not founded upon the trading of things but on dealing in services. The Paradise Game was a golden stairway to power because it sold ways of life. Black boards have wear at edges, rubbed. Dust jacket has wear at edges with some tears, rubbed with some white showing, some soiling, some creases. Size: 5 " x 8"
