London: Rapp & Whiting; (1969) First UK edition, very good in a very good dust jacket. Just slight loss at top of rear board of the green cloth, probably from insect damage, with corresponding small chips at top of rear panel of the dust jacket. The boards are flared slightly outward, and one page has been opened roughly, causing a small hole in the facing page at the foredge. Small bookshop (Foyle's) label on front pastedown. No names or other markings in book. Even with the flaws described, a pretty nice copy of a scarce book. The basis for the film Blade Runner.. First Edition. Hard Cover.
