Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. First British and World First hardcover edition, and an extremely rare book indeed. This is the first collection of his "Known Space" stories. The title story won the 1967 Hugo Award. Unclipped protected jacket, and very rare thus. Most hardcover copies disappeared into libraries with the subsequent abuses of stamps and inserts. This one obviously never found itself anywhere near a library, and got itself into the hands of someone who cared because it is in better shape than any copy I have seen. Clean and tight text block, binding a little sunned at the top edge, but no bent corners to the binding. No inscriptions, no turned down corners. Jacket is brilliant too. A stunning collection of truly great SF stories. Niven's second book, and I believe this was its only hardcover issue.
