Slowly but surely I’m filling in the gaps of my complete Henry Kuttner/C. L. Moore collection:
Moore, C.L. Scarlet Dream. Donald M. Grant, 1981. First edition hardback, one of 220 copies signed by Moore and illustrator Alicia Austin, a Fine- copy with a few pinhead spots of light staining at head, in a Fine- dust jacket with just a trace of wear at head and points, and very slight edge wrinkling at rear flap top, in a Near Fine slipcase with two tackhead sized abrasions to bottom. All the Northwest Smith science fiction adventure stories, including one (“Song in a Minor Key”) not in Northwest of Earth or Shambleau. Chalker/Owings, page 221. Bought for $60 from an internet dealer.
This is the fourth signed Moore first I’ve picked up, along with The Best of C. L. Moore, Black God’s Shadow, and Mutant. I’m still looking for a nice Northwest of Earth that’s both affordable and not horribly spine-faded…
