About this Item

© 1962: A stand-alone novel by Samuel R Delany. 3rd printing of 1962 edition. Ace Books #39021:- Review(s): "Outrageously fantastic, romantic and gorgeously implausible. Full of fantastic bits and glimpses of bizarre beauty, of horror that has a cleaner side, with a denouement that lifts the story out of itself" - P Schuyler Miller, Analog / "The story of a post-atomic quest and an extremely accomplished first novel. Streaked through with poetry and crammed with vivid images" - J Cawthorn, New Worlds / "This is the first and perhaps the greatest novel by the Nebula-winning author of 'Babel-17', 'The Einstein Intersection' and many other fine books. It has been completely revised and expanded by the author from the first edition" / "Comparable only to Sturgeon, Ballard, Vonnegut, and Cordwainer Smith" - Judith Merril:- (original cost $0.75).
