About this Item

"FIRST EDITION" on its copyright page. Included with this book is the publisher's "Advance Praise for THE BRAINS OF RATS" review slip. The book's title page is signed, with no personalization or inscription, by author Michael Blumlein. In the upper right corner of the half-title page there is a stamped image in red ink of a pig. This stamp's ink color matches that of the image of a microscope/gun printed on the book's title page, but the pig stamp ink slightly bleeds through the page so must have been applied after the page was printed. (Perhaps it was a whimsical way to mark the publisher's review copy?) Excepting the pig stamp, this book is in fine condition. Its binding is sound and square, with no spine crease. Covers are unmarked and unworn, with bright silver titles on its spine. Pages are unworn and otherwise unmarked. Its dust jacket, now protected by a removable mylar cover, is in fine condition: whole, bright, unmarked, and unworn. I will ship this book in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure it reaches its new owner in the same condition as my description.

About this title

Synopsis

In these twelve stories we enter the darkest corridors of America        s hospitals. Meet a scientist who discovers how to predetermine and alter the sex of a pregnant woman        s fetus, and proceeds to contemplate his own gender...and a surgeon whose primary practice is removing organs and limbs from unwilling patients to redistribute them to unfortunate victims in impoverished countries. Filled with dark surprises, these splendid tales invite us to glimpse the world of high-tech medicine from a disturbing new angle.
