by Ursula K. Le Guin

Description

This is a pristine, leather-bound Collector’s Edition of The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin, published by The Easton Press in 1986 as part of the Masterpieces of Science Fiction Collection. Includes a special introduction by Frederik Pohl. Bound in wine colored leather with hubbed spines, the book is accented in 22kt gold. The front cover prominently features the title The Dispossessed in bold, capitalized gold lettering above an intricately detailed image of a planetary map, beautifully rendered in 22kt gold. Beneath the illustration, the author’s name, Ursula K. Le Guin, is elegantly embossed in gold. The spine features the title and the author’s name in gold serif font, accompanied by decorative gold accents and a circular celestial motif, all divided by thin gold lines that add to the spine’s refined aesthetic. The pages are printed on archival-quality, acid-neutral paper, ensuring longevity and preservation. The page edges are gilded, creating a radiant gold shimmer when viewed from the side. Inside, the book includes a pristine bookplate and features an original frontispiece artwork by Pat Morressey. The smyth-sewn binding ensures durability, while concealed muslin joints provide additional structural integrity. Meticulously preserved in a dust-free bookcase within a dry climate by a single private owner, this volume remains in pristine condition. A stunning and rare collectible for science fiction enthusiasts and fine book collectors alike.
