About This Item
First edition, first impression. Signed by the author to the title page. The popular fifth book in the Culture series.
Original black cloth with silver lettering to spine. Some toning to edges with a little spotting to fore-edge, otherwise very good, in the original and unclipped dust jacket, which has a little browning to the top edge and minor evidence of soft creasing to spine panel, both of which are only visible on verso, very good or better otherwise with none of the often-encountered fading to the spine panel.
Synopsis
Excession, first published in 1996, is Scottish writer Iain M. Banks' fourth science fiction novel to feature the Culture. It concerns the response of the Culture and other interstellar societies to an unprecedented alien artifact, the Excession of the title.
