About This Item
Seattle: Serconia Press, 1989. Cloth. Fine/Near Fine. INSCRIBED BY SAMUEL DELANY on the dedication page. An all-but-pristine copy to boot of the 1989 stated 1st edition. Clean and Fine in a crisp, price-intact, Near Fine to Fine dustjacket. Octavo, Delany here "turns his unflinching critical eye to the most mysterious realm of all: his own life, writing and soul. He and his critical alter-ego K. Leslie Steiner sail dangerous waters and map out the inner workings of one of science fiction's most original minds." (from the front dustjacket flap).
