About this Item

Algis Budrys began his stellar SF writing career with a novel that was published "seriously abridged" (Currey) as a 1954 Lion paperback titled "False Night". In 1961 the unabridged novel, with some revisions, was published as a Regency paperback titled "Some Will Not Die". And, finally, in 1978, Budrys further revised the novel with editing assistance from Polly and Kelly Freas for the definitive Donning Starblaze edition of "Some Will Not Die". Offered for your Budrys shelf: a Lion 1954 paperback first edition of "False Night" SIGNED by Algis Budrys WITH a Starblaze 1978 trade paper first edition of "Some Will Not Die" SIGNED by Kelly Freas. "Lion edition published December, 1954" on the copyright page of "False Night". It is flat signed (no inscription) by Budrys on its title page. The book is in very good condition: covers and pages unmarked, binding still sound and square, with some very light wear to corners and edges, plus a shallow corner crease on back cover. "Some Will Not Die" is beautifully flat signed "Kelly Freas" in black marker on its front cover. No statement of edition or printing on its copyright page, so a first edition. It is in fine condition: binding tight and square, no reading crease in spine, covers unfaded and otherwise unmarked, pages unmarked (not a remainder.) As with all Space Age Book purchases, I will ship these books in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure they reach their proud new owner in the same condition as my description. Bibliographic note: the ISBN in this listing is for the Starblaze "Some Will Not Die". There is no ISBN on the Lion paperback.

Sale & Shipping Terms

Terms of Sale

Terms of Sale are per ABE Books standards and your national consumer laws.

Shipping Terms

Items will be carefully packaged to assure they arrive as described.
All shipments will be via US Postal Service unless requested otherwise. Standard shipping within the USA will be via USPS Media Mail. Priority shipping within the USA will be via USPS First Class Mail.
My current Standard shipping rate within the USA is US$4.00 for the first book, and US$2.00 for additional books in the same order.
There are two situations where I will refund to the buyer a portion of the postage charged by ABEBOOKS: (1) Separate orders placed on the same date for shipment to the same address will be shipped together, so I will refund half of the postage paid for the first book in each such second and subsequent order. And (2) Books described as "paperbacks" in my descriptions weigh less than other books, so I will refund US$1.00 of the paid shipping fee for the 2nd and subsequent paperbacks in the same order shipping to the same address.
Please contact me via ABE if you have any questions or special requests about packing and shipment, such as insurance or shipment by carriers other than US Postal Service. I will be happy to work with you if my standard policies need adjustment or exceptions.
