I have a very large collection of books spanning many topics.  A massive gathering of Philip K Dick titles and editions, as well as fine press, signed limited editions, modern firsts, radical movement and conceptual art items.  I encourage you to browse my store and categories for a wide range of unique, quality offerings.


About: The original edition was published in 1948 and limited to only 450 copies.  This edition here was published for the MoMA (New York).  Page after page of illustrations.  A wonderful book to go through.


Condition: SEE IMAGES.  This is a solid GOOD++ book in GOOD dust jacket.  The binding is tight and boxed, showing light shelfwear.  I grade in GOOD category due to the FAINT yellowing around the page edges/margins.  FAINT.  The dust jacket is somewhat toned with minor edge chipping/folds, NOT price-clipped.  There is minor water stain rippling to hte jacket, but HARD TO SEE unless you look closely.  a couple few visible stains as well, MOSTLY seen on the inside/backside of the jacket.  The jacket is covered with a brodart.  Book is preserved in an acid-free archival bag.

 

I will happily answer any further questions.


Making offers: I certainly can appreciate wanting a better deal, and I've made offers myself on my own purchases.  To be up front, if and when you make an offer, I will automatically reject crazy low "give it away" offers.  Best not to waste our time.  With a more reasonable offer, I will review current pricing for other comparable items out there and either accept, counter or decline submitted offer.  If in that review, I find my pricing is already LOW and outdated, I may then increase the price to bring more in line with other offerings.  I spend a lot of time sourcing the best offerings, preparing the listings with images and clear descriptions, and price fairly in MOST cases. 


I remain grateful to all who consider my offerings, and I look forward to serving your needs respectfully and with success.
