Item Description
GOOD, BETTER, BESTER
A business man obsessed with success. A devious plot to wipe out the competition. A race of humans with the ability to read thoughts before they are known to the thinker. A criminal investigation that leads into the darkest corners of the human psyche. No, we are not talking about the latest sci-fi Hollywood blockbuster, but the 1953 novel, The Demolished Man. Penned by acclaimed science fiction author Alfred Bester, this novel was the first recipient of the prestigious Hugo Award. Own this first edition copy of this rare literary gem, signed on the front endpaper by Bester. The accompanying jacket is an original that went uncirculated until the 1980s ($3.00 price still intact!). The Demolished Man is a perfect addition to your favorite discerning reader’s library.
Item Special Note
Half bound in turquoise cloth over boards. The endpapers are foxed, the spine is faded, and some slight wear to the covers.
Book is available for pick-up at Playwrights Horizons on W. 42nd St. in Manhattan, otherwise the winning bidder is responsible for the shipping costs.
