Items related to Direct Descent
Earth has become a library planet for thousands of years, a bastion of both useful and useless knowledge—esoterica of all types, history, science, politics—gathered by teams of “pack rats” who scour the galaxy for any scrap of information. Knowledge is power, knowledge is wealth, and knowledge can be a weapon. As powerful dictators come and go over the course of history, the cadre of dedicated librarians is sworn to obey the lawful government . . . and use their wits to protect the treasure trove of knowledge they have collected over the millennia.

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First UK Paperback edition first printing. Paperback book is tight clean and square. Covers sharp and clean, with a very light crease at the joint. Text block clean, with only a hint toning to edges. The pages are crisp and unblemished. Feels unread. Touch of sunning to spine, near fine condition. For grading accuracy books are photographed without a protective book cover. Note we do not use stock images, the book pictured is the book described. A super example of this paperback title by Herbert, very many striking illustrations throughout, a nice item for a collectors shelf. Seller Inventory # 004348
