Description: I have a very large collection of books spanning many topics. A massive gathering of Philip K Dick titles and editions, as well as fine press, signed limited editions, modern firsts, radical movement and conceptual art items. I encourage you to browse my store and categories for a wide range of unique, quality offerings. Condition: SEE IMAGES. This is in solid GOOD condition. The spine integrity is beginning to diminish, starting with the lower spine area. STILL OVERALL bound and flippable. SEE IMAGE. The title page has fully separated, but is present and is in proper position. Nothing else is loose or separated. Covers shows some edge-rubbing, nothing severe or unpleasant IMO. Internally quite clean. NO markings, NO tears. Full color, open spread of Panther Paperback covers is present. Book is preserved in an acid-free archival bag. About: The handbook is FULL of all kinds of fun stuff. The ads alone are enough to take one back, but the features and illustration gallery is quite stunning as well. BONUS: Included with the convention handbook offered here, I'm including the SEPARATE official Seacon '79 "programme" guide that was handed out at THIS event. The guide is a stapled booklet measuring approx. 8.25in T x 6in W, 20 pages, with minimal owner notes inside a more portable booklet with venue maps, lineup schedule of all the different events happening. The guide is in VG++ condition, no tearing or creasing, no markings. Content highlights British Guest of Honor is Brian W.

Making offers: I certainly can appreciate wanting a better deal, and I've made offers myself on my own purchases. To be up front, if and when you make an offer, I will automatically reject crazy low "give it away" offers. Best not to waste our time. With a more reasonable offer, I will review current pricing for other comparable items out there and either accept, counter or decline submitted offer. If in that review, I find my pricing is already LOW and outdated, I may then increase the price to bring more in line with other offerings. I spend a lot of time sourcing the best offerings, preparing the listings with images and clear descriptions, and price fairly in MOST cases. I remain grateful to all who consider my offerings, and I look forward to serving your needs respectfully and with success.
