Underwood Miller, 1982. First hardback edition, #63 of 200 signed, numbered copies, a Fine- copy with a very small bump to top rear boards, in a Near Fine dust jacket with slight age darkening to top of spine, and a trace of same along edges. Suspense novel originally published as a paperback original under his legal name of John Holbrook Vance, and the basis of a well-regarded 1974 TV movie of the same name. Hewett, A.43.c. Cunningham, 5.b. Chalker\/Owings, page 434. Hubin, page 404. Supplements copies of the text in Volume 12 of the <b>Vance Integral Edition<\/b> and the Subterranean <b>Dangerous Ways<\/B> omnibus (which I have both lettered and trade states of), but I still lack the 1973 Ballantine PBO. Though overgraded as Fine\/Fine, I can&#8217;t really complain since I bought this at a bargain $35 price. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lawrenceperson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Band-Ronald-LTD-680x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"678\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-25461\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lawrenceperson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Band-Ronald-LTD-680x1024.png 680w, https:\/\/www.lawrenceperson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Band-Ronald-LTD-199x300.png 199w, https:\/\/www.lawrenceperson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Band-Ronald-LTD-768x1157.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lawrenceperson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Band-Ronald-LTD.png 1255w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I manage to fill one of the few gaps left in my Jack Vance collection.
