Logan’s Run 1976 First edition thus William Nolan Film tie-in edition w/ 16 pages of full color photos
"Logan's Run", by William Nolan and George Clayton Jonhson, published by Bantam Books in 1976.
First edition thus, with Hollywood film cover art and photographs.
This is a "very good" or better vintage paperback with a solid binding, not cracked or rolled. No loose, torn or folded pages. Original owner named penned inside front cover (see images), other wise no writing. Yellow tinting to all block edges is crisp and uniform. Just a little surface wear on glossy covers, otherwise remarkably crisp.
Overall, still a very pleasing copy, getting harder to find these in condition as nice as this as this printing approaches the half-century mark.
See accompanying images for full condition details.

Combined shipping: Some platforms (Facebook being one), may not handle combining multiple orders into one shipment easily.
