Earthman Come Home, James Blish
An extraordinarily accurate reproduction of Blish's third book and, chronologically, the third book of the "Cities in Flight" tetralogy. With nearly identical paper weight, size, typeface, art, wrappers, finish, and texture as the original, published by Putman in 1955. With the original slipcase and with the publisher's slip laid in.
Shelton, CT: The First Edition Library, circa 1990s. Original blue cloth, spine lettered in yellow; pp. xiv, 239. A touch of foxing to text block edges, else a fine copy in a fine dust jacket. Slipcase shows just a hint of shelfwear.
