© 1975: A collection of 10 short stories by Clifford D Simak. 1st printing of 1975 edition. Edited by Angus Wells with an introduction by Clifford D Simak. A part of the Sphere 'The Best Of.' series:- Contents: Madness From Mars / Sunspot Purge / The Sitters / A Death In The House / Final Gentleman / Shotgun Cure / Day Of Truce / Small Deer / The Thing In The Stone / The Autumn Land:- Synopsis: Clifford D Simak is, perhaps, best known for his brilliant novel 'City', winner of the International Fantasy Award in 1952. Equally brilliant was 'Way Station', which took the Hugo Award in 1964, his second after winning the 1958 Hugo with his novelette, 'The Big Front Yard'. Simak's talent lies in his use of 'ordinary', good people, saints rather than sinners, allied to his marvellous ability to weave a story that fascinates and intrigues and excites. The ten stories included in this collection demonstrate how that massive talent has grown and developed over the years:- (original price £0.60).

Book sizes, where given, are to the nearest ¼". Each book has then been graded according to its condition, taking into account the degree of creasing to the covers and/or spine, presence of scuff marks or tears, any pen marks or inscriptions & any page tanning. We try to be as fair & accurate as possible with the grading of our books, but if you are unhappy with any classification of condition please let us know as soon as possible. If, for any reason at all, you are unhappy with your purchase, we offer a no quibble, money back guarantee within 30 days of purchase.
