26613Lakewood: Centipede Press. 2009. Limited edition. Limited edition. Hardcover. Signed by the author and Kim Stanley Robinson. Publisher's original quarter black pebble-grained cloth with a white printed cloth-covered upper board and red textured Japanese cloth-covered lower board. With gilt titles to the spine and black and white titles printed to the upper board. Black satin ribbon page marker. Tissue-guard tipped in to the title page. Illustrated with 10 colour plates by Jacob McMurray. A lovely fine copy the binding square and firm the cloth bright and fresh with just a touch of rubbing to the fore-edge of the upper board. The contents are clean throughout and without previous owners' inscriptions or stamps. Issued in an edition of 300 copies from which this example is numbered 120 and signed by the author John Brunner and the author of the introduction Kim Stanley Robinson in black and blue ink respectively on the colophon. Winner of the 1969 Hugo Award for 'Best Novel' and the inaugural British SF Association Award. John Brunner 1934-1995 was a British writer focussing on general space operas in his early career but hitting his literary style with 'Stand on Zanzibar' in 1968. The fragmented narrative technique he used delving into the lives of a vast array of characters not simply for plot reasons but to create a rich context for his futuristic setting was heavily inspired by John Dos Passos' innovative 'U.S.A.' trilogy 1930-6. As with many sf writers of the era Brunner is seen as somewhat prescient in retrospect but his claim to fame is probably using the word 'worm' to apply to a computer virus. According to the publisher's website before he passed away in 1995 Brunner had signed a 'few hundred' sheets as part of a project with Charles Brown 1937-2009 co-founder and editor of Locus Magazine which sadly never saw the light of day. When Brown was told of Centipede Press' limited edition publication he generously sent across the signed sheets to the publisher enabling Brunner's signature to be included on the colophon at the rear. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers. Lakewood: Centipede Press. 2009 hardcover

Guise.Erste Ausgabe des seltenen Frühwerks Burckhardts noch aus seiner Berliner Studienzeit. "Der Grund warum dieser Text. anonym erschien mag einerseits in der Jugend des Verfassers andererseits in einem gewissen offiziellen Stil und schliesslich in einer Rücksicht auf einen eben Verstorbenen zu suchen sein. Burckhardt's Schrift ist nämlich eine Art Neuausgabe einer älteren "Beschreibung der Münsterkirche zu Basel" die um 1788 ebenfalls anonym erschienen war. Folgt man Burckhardts Beschreibung im einzelnen so findet man neben manchen Irrrtümern die heute leicht festzustellen sind auf Schritt und Tritt scharfe Beobachtung kluge Vermutung und vorsichtige Zurückhaltung."
