First Edition Signed
First edition. Octavo, cloth. Generic inscription signed by Smith on the title page. Although set in the future on Venus, the tone of the novel is hard-boiled noir, complete with a lurid plot element: a surefire aphrodisiac derived from a flower grown on that planet. Mild foxing to page edges, off setting to front free end paper, a nearly fine copy in a nearly fine dust jacket with mild wear to corner tips and spine ends. (28000).
