Included in the set are: 'And All The Stars A Stage', 1972, UK first edition, 'A Clash Of Cymbals', 1972, 'The Star Dwellers', 1972, 'Anywhen', 1972, 'Jack of Eagles', 1973, UK first edition, 'Best Science Fiction of James Blish', 1973, 'Midsummer Century', 1973, UK first edition, and 'The Quincunx of Time', 1975, UK first edition. All volumes with unclipped dustwrappers. An exciting collection of fantastical science fiction stories, Blish's talent lives on in this fantastical set.
Condition
All volumes in the publisher's original binding with unclipped dustwrappers. Externally, all volumes are generally very smart, with some bumping to the head and tail of the spine of 'The Star Dwellers', very minor handling mark to the front board of 'Best Science Fiction Stories', and some minor bumping to the head of the spine of 'Midsummer Century'. The dustwrappers are all generally smart, with some age-toning, handling marks (particularly to 'Jack of Eagles' which has a torn appearance to the bottom of the front board, and 'The Quincunx of Time', which has some damp staining to the fly leaves), and shelf wear to the heads and tails of the spine and extremities to all. Internally, all volumes are firmly bound. Pages are generally bright and clean in all volumes, with some age-toning, and some damp-staining to 'The Quincunx of Time', particularly to the very front.
