THE EGG OF THE GLAK AND OTHER STORIES

New York, Evanston, and London: Harper & Row, 1969. Octavo, cloth-backed boards. First edition. The author's first book. Excellent -- but neglected -- collection of eleven stories first published in PLAYBOY, MAGAZINE OF FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION, NEW WORLDS, and elsewhere. "The only collection of stories by a little-known and unprolific master of the genre. From the bizarre title story to tales of deep-sea monsters, Jacobs spins a magic web, walking the tightrope between New York-based realism and the most fantastic notions. An author to be rediscovered." - Barron (ed), Fantasy Literature 4A-144. Light foxing to top edge of text block, else a fine copy in nearly fine dust jacket with some discoloration to rear panel and dust jacket flaps caused by offset of orange dye on boards and common to this book. A very elusive book. (#112423) (Inventory #: 112423)
