About This Item
New York: Ballantine Books, [1955]. First edition. Mild darkening of text paper, a fine copy in a nearly fine dust jacket with a touch of wear to spine ends and upper front corner tip, rubs and a tiny chip at the lower right corner tip. An attractive copy. (25335). Octavo, cover art by Richard Powers, cloth. Collects eight stories, "including the early 'Microcosmic God' (1941), about a scientist who breeds a race of tiny intelligent creatures. Another of the most memorable tales, 'Bright Segment' (1955), a powerful piece about a freakish recluse and his love for a badly injured woman, is non-SF (though quintessential Sturgeon)." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 61.
