Octavo, pictorial wrappers. Later edition. "LAST AND FIRST MEN and STAR MAKER soar far beyond the accepted limits of science fiction . Stapledon is the great classical example, the cold pitch of perfection as he turns scientific concepts into vast ontological epic prose poems, the ultimate SF writer." - Aldiss, Trillion Year Spree: The History of Science Fiction, p. 198. Trade paperback format. A fine copy. (#178064). Seller Inventory # 178064
