Incredible tales from a writer who challenged and amazed. Who revolutionized the genre. And whose stories will stand the test of time." [publisher copy] "Wolfe mixes pulp adventure, ghost stories, and noir with self-reference, meta-fiction, unreliable narrators, and puns. . . A highly flattering career retrospective of a postmodern fabulist disguised as a mild-mannered SF writer."--Publishers Weekly. "If any writer from within genre fiction ever merited the designation Great Author, it is surely Wolfe. . . Reads like Dickens, Proust, Kipling, Chesterton, Borges, and Nabokov rolled into one."--The Washington Post Book World. "Wolfe is a sophisticated stylist, and has more in common with writers such as Jorge Luis Borges than almost any science fiction writer both in terms of craft and themes."--The Boston Globe. "Wolfe is our Melville."--Ursula K. Le Guin. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Fine collection, quite presentable.

The book has sound hinges and does not lean. Pages are clean with no creases, wrinkles or stains. The cover corners are not bumped and there is no rubbing to extremities. The book's only flaw is that there are a few spots at the top of the spine where they gray cloth is a little lighter. Not sure why. The rest of the covers and spine are spotless. The dust jacket is just-like-new and has been placed in a clear archival sleeve to keep it in pristine condition. (Note: Photos may show a flash reflection.) PayPal always welcome. We pack all our books with care and ship in cardboard boxes. Shipment outside of the United States will require extra funds. Additional photos emailed upon request.
