Ursula LeGuin The Left Hand of Darkness Signed
<B>Ursula K. LeGuin <I>The Left Hand of Darkness</B></I></B></I> <B>Signed First Hardcover Edition.</B></I> (New York: Walker and Company, 1969), first hardcover edition, 286 pages, gray boards with black lettering on spine, 8vo (5.75" x 8.5"), dust jacket (in protective Mylar). Signed "<I>Ursula K. Leguin</B></I> on the title page. "Winner of the 1969 Nebula and 1970 Hugo awards for Best Novel (over Kurt Vonnegut's <I>Slaughterhouse-Five</B></I>), <I>The Left Hand of Darkness</B></I> is an early work of feminist science fiction. Pringle rates it #60 on his list of 100 Best Science Fiction Novels. The copy presented here is very good, and perhaps ex-library. Each board is stained at top and bottom from tape residue, which has also slightly discolored the dust jacket in the same points. It is also lightly shelf-cocked, and diplays minor corner and spine wear. The dust jacket has minor edge wear present, and a small tear of the rear flap. Altogether, these flaws do not detract from this excellent copy of one of LeGuin's certifiable masterpieces. <I>From the Ventura Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
