On Stranger Tides

New York: Ace Books, 1987. First Edition. Octavo. 21.5cm. Publisher's black cloth spine over red paper covered boards, titled in gilt to spine. Dustjacket. 325pp. Very light wear and scuffing to spine ends and extremities; internally clean, inscribed by the author (upside down, as usual) to the title page with a small drawing of Mr. Powers smoking a pipe: "For Steve, this rip-off of a Disneyland ride. Cheers, Tim Powers, 11/5/88". In a bright, sharp and clean dustjacket. A near fine copy.

One of the greatest undead, voodoo, pirate based historical fantasies ever written. It's not a wide field, but even if it was, this particular book would (truncated) be a stand out. Signed by Powers in his customary tongue in cheek style. (Inventory #: 84525)
