The Big Time Fritz Leiber 1982 First edition
$14.00
"The Big Time", by Fritz Leiber, published by Ace Books in 1982. First edition thus. This is a "very good plus" vintage paperback with a solid binding. No loose, or torn pages. There are two pages - 111/112 and 113/114 with the upper corners folded - it looks like it is accidental as there is no indication of any other pages showing signs of having been folded as if when marking a stopping point. No writing. Inside the covers shows tanning. Has some very light surface wear if held at the right angle, but really quite above average condition. See accompanying images for full condition details. Shipping: Will ship promptly, carefully packaged. Combined shipping: Some platforms (Facebook being one), may not handle combining multiple orders into one shipment easily. If you order multiple items on a platform on the same date and are charged shipping multiple times, when we generate your shipping labels, we will credit back shipping overages.
