The questing mind and storytelling power of Jack Williamson have given science fiction some of its most memorable writing from its very beginning--and these 14 stories show this grand master of science fiction at his provocative and protean best.

Seller's Description:
Near Fine. Book 1st printing. This book is square, solid, and unread. You'll be so thrilled When you receive this book, you'll feel as though you've stumbled into a cave and come across. an elven sword named Glamdring--or the crown of the fabled Prester John--a ring of invisibility. or even a Magic Lamp, prosaic as that may sound! You MAY even cartwheel with glee! In protective archival bag. NOTE: A very little bit of edge wear, price on the FFEP inked out, and there's an old half-crease to the upper righthand corner of the cover.
