In a dystopic future, the world is severely overpopulated and children are forbidden. Mechanical children are invented as a substitute, but for one determined woman that is not enough. This is a used book. Pages are clean and bright with no markings, notes, or highlighting. Page edges show minor foxing. DJ shows only minor shelf wear and is not price clipped. Back end paper has what look like phone numbers written on it; not ex-library. Binding is tight and square. Bottom corners very lightly bumped. An excellent reading copy. SFBC code B40 on page 181.
