Set in a post-apocalyptic San Francisco following a nuclear war, Dick’s masterwork explores questions of empathy, identity, and reality through the story of bounty hunter Rick Deckard, charged with “retiring” rogue androids.

A near fine copy with some off-setting to endpapers and the usual light spotting to edges. Contents otherwise pristine with spotting not encroaching in any way on pages or text. The original and unclipped dust jacket shows a touch of rubbing to spine ends and corners with a minuscule chip and nick to spine ends, the latter of which is only visible upon very close inspection, else near fine. [Offered together with:] Blade Runner Sketchbook. San Diego: Blue Dolphin Enterprises, 1982: First edition, first impression.

Some light creasing to covers but internally bright and clean. The Blade Runner Portfolio. San Diego: Blue Dolphin Enterprises, 1982: First edition. Issued to coincide with the film’s release, this portfolio presents twelve striking colour prints of key scenes featuring Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard, suitable for framing. Complete and well preserved; folder with minor handling wear. A compelling trio connecting Philip K. Dick’s visionary novel with its cinematic reimagining — the original British edition of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, accompanied by two uncommon 1982 publications documenting the creation and iconography of Blade Runner.£4,500.00 -

QuickviewFairies: The Cottingley Photos and Their Sequel
First Edition, Modern First EditionsFairies: The Cottingley Photos and Their Sequel Gardner, Edward L. First edition, first impression of this important early work on the Cottingley Fairies, published by one of the leading Theosophists of the day. Gardner (1880–1969), General Secretary of the Theosophical Society in England, was instrumental in promoting the photographs taken by Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths, and in persuading Sir Arthur Conan Doyle of their authenticity. This volume reproduces the famous photographs, including Alice and the Fairies, Fairy Offering a Posy to Elsie, and Frances and the Leaping Fairy, alongside Gardner’s commentary and his defence of their genuineness. The Cottingley Fairy photographs, taken in 1917 and 1920, became one of the most celebrated photographic hoaxes of the 20th century, though they were not fully exposed as fakes until the early 1980s, when both women admitted to having staged them using cardboard cut-outs. At the time, however, they convinced many spiritualists, not least Conan Doyle, who saw in them a vindication of his beliefs in spiritualism and psychic phenomena. Octavo. Original blue cloth-backed boards, titles to upper board in black. With the 5 famous Cottingley Fairy photographs. Bookplate of Jean Corke to front pastedown and front free endpaper, with ownership name to the latter. Some spotting to endpapers and text throughout, more pronounced to preliminaries and plate leaves, boards a little rubbed, spotted and toned, spine ends lightly worn, cracking to binding at p 26, but pages still holding firm. A good copy.£250.00 -
