Canopus in Argos: Archives. The Making of the Representative for Planet 8

A near fine copy, in a near fine dust jacket, of the stated first US edition. The black cloth binding is clean and unworn, with solid gilt lettering to the spine. Everything is tight and square, with unbumped corners. The contents are clean and bright with no ownership inscriptions or other markings of any kind. The unclipped dust jacket ($11.95) is clean and complete, with just the slightest of edgewear and rubbing. It is now protected in a removable mylar cover. From the blurb: "In this volume of the Canopus series, Doris Lessing gives us a microcosm of our emotional - our metaphysical - universe. Hers is a frightening, yet, finally, a consummately hopeful vision, a profound novelist's contribution to the questions that are being asked so frequently and restlessly by scientists in that recently discovered area where the new physics meets traditional mysticism".
