Octavo, cloth. First British edition. One of 250 numbered copies signed by Aldiss. Fix-up novel in which "the author has built a framing narrative, about an alternative Europe still under Nazi domination, around two old space adventure novellas from the 1950s . The modern story is fine, but, unfortunately, it comprises less than a fifth of the whole book." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 80. Text revised from that of the earlier U.S. edition published as THE YEAR BEFORE YESTERDAY. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. Enclosed in cloth slipcase with a copy of the hardbound issue (300 numbered copies) of Aldiss's The Magic of the Past that collects the title story and "North Scarning." (#169215).
