by George Zebrowski
This superb volume is a personally signed Easton Press Collector's Edition of George Zebrowski's Brute Orbits, a distinguished entry in the Masterpieces of Science Fiction Collection. The book is bound in premium full black leather, featuring a traditional hubbed spine with raised bands that create a classic, authoritative profile. Both the spine and the front cover are lavishly accented in 22k gold, showcasing intricate geometric designs and chain-link motifs that reflect the novel's themes. The page edges are fully gilded in 22k gold, providing a brilliant luster while sealing the pages against humidity. This limited run edition is printed on acid-neutral, archival paper designed for permanent preservation without yellowing. The structural integrity is ensured by Smyth sewing and concealed muslin joints, allowing the book to open flat without stress. The interior features original artwork by Bob Eggleton and an introduction by James Gunn. This specific copy is personally signed by the author. It boasts impeccable provenance: a single-owner gem from a private collection, it is unread and has always been stored in dust-free bookcases in a dry climate. A pristine bookplate is affixed to the inside front cover. The condition is graded as Signed/Pristine/As New/Unread, free of marks or wear. This leather-bound masterpiece represents the highest standard of bookmaking, offering a luxury presentation of a significant work.
