Philip K. Dick “The Preserving Machine” First edition vintage hardcover Short story anthology
Original price was: $67.00.$54.27Current price is: $54.27.
This is a “very good” vintage hardcover with cloth headband in the binding, published in November 1969 by Ace books for a selection of the month in the Science Fiction Book Club in January of 1970
This is a first edition and first appearance of this collection in hardcover format, with the requisite gutter code of 48K indicating the November ’69 printing.
This volume has a solid, tight textblock with intact gutters and hinges. Green tinted upper edge shows what was likely some moisture exposure washing out some of the stain, nothing visible on the interior of the pages. No writing apparent. The board corners are crisp with just the upper back ever so slightly bumped, a little wear at the very tips. No loose, torn or folded pages.
The matching vintage dust wrapper shows a fair amount of surface wear all around, most so on the back. Edge wear all around with some small losses. Tanned along edge at the top. No writing, not clipped. Now in a removable archival sleeve.

“The Preserving Machine”
“War Game”
