Number line to 4, indicating a 4th printing. Mass market paperback. 220pp. Very good in pictorial wraps. Title page is inscribed by Butler, "To Uppinder Best Wishes Octavia E. Butler." Uppinder is most certainly Uppinder Mehan who co-edited 'So Long Been Dreaming' an anthology of science fiction and fantasy by writers of colour, along with Nalo Hopkinson. Minor edgewear and rubbing to wraps. A few light scuffs to wraps. Very slight loss of purple colour at the very edges of the wraps and the head and foot of spine. Two minor vertical creases along the spine, although the binding is still tight and square. Small and superficial line of creasing at the back corner wrap near barcode. Minor tanning to paper as commonly seen in mass market paperbacks of this age. A nice copy overall signed by the influential Hugo and Nebula award winning author. Securely shipped in a well-packed box with tracking.
