Ubik - (first Book Club Edition with gutter code '28K')

Doubleday Science Fiction. New York. 1969. 278 pages. First Bookclub Edition of Dick's classic, with 28 K in gutter opposite page 202. Book is tight. Binding and hinges are strong and sound. Sewn binding with yellow topstain. Gray boards stamped in pink on spine. Panels, endpapers and pages are bright and clean. Book itself is impeccable in seemingly unread condition. Book's only flaw is limited to minor shelf-rubbing at tips. As for the elusive DJ, it is slightly lesser condition than then NF book. DJ shows a couple of tiny chips at foot and crown of DJ spine. Minor faint sunning to spine. A touch of ink on upper right corner of DJ that can be lifted with acetate. A very attractive copy of Dick's classic in its original desirable DJ. Near fine in VG DJ; flaws noted.
