TOTAL Cost: $10.00
Ace Double #F-265, the 1964 first book publication of Jack Vance's 1951 novella "Son of the Tree", and 1954 novella "The Houses of Iszm". This is an attractive reading copy in good+ condition. Its major flaw is that it is missing the bottom corner of the "Son of the Tree" cover (a large chip 1.75"x0.75".) It also has light rubbing and faint scrapes on the "Houses of Iszm" cover. On the plus side, it is unread and unmarked. Binding is tight and square, with no creases in its spine or hinges. Covers are bright. Pages are unworn, with some normal age toning. As with all Space Age Book purchases, I will ship this book in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure it reaches its new owner in the same condition as my description.
