About This Item
New York: Walker and Company, [1969]. First hardcover edition. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket with a some light age darkening to spine and edges, this copy also shows two thin light parallel lines along upper portion of jacket, they almost appear to be part of the design of the jacket however other copies we have handled do not have these, our first thought was that it was some sort of age mark, but another distinct possibility is that this occurred during the printing process. Still quite an attractive copy. (10050). Octavo, boards. First book in the "Pern" series. Combines the novellas "Weyr Search", Hugo winner (1968) and "Dragonrider", Nebula award winner 1968. Anatomy of Wonder (1995) 4-289. Barron (ed.): Fantasy Literature 4A-179.
