About This Item
London: Gollancz, 1982. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. First UK edition first printing. Book is tight clean and square. Boards sharp and clean. Tight and feels very lightly read. Text block nice and square, a touch of light toning to edges, top edge slightly more pronounced with a few very feint spots.Book grades near fine condition. Lovely white jacket (price £8.95) has light creasing to the foot of the rear panel, also grades near fine. This book is fitted with a non adhesive archival quality book protector to make a quality addition to your collection. Note we do not use stock images, the book pictured is the book described. A very attractive and solid copy of this highly regarded title, winner of the World Fantasy Award in 1982 (and nominated for all the major genre awards that year). A complex novel, set at the start of the 20th century, an architect discovers worlds within worlds that are reflected in the house he builds - perhaps one of the first urban fantasy novels to gain recognition, thus the story is hard to explain. Lauded by many significant authors and critics. A difficult book to find in this condition, that looks super on the shelf in the fitted archival cover.
Synopsis
Winner of the 1982 World Fantasy Award for best novel.

This is not just as good as fantasy fiction gets but fiction in general. A gorgeous book.
