The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
By C. S. Lewis
First edition, first impression. The first book in The Chronicles of Narnia series, illustrated by Pauline Baynes.
Original green cloth with silver lettering to spine. Some of the often-encountered ghosting to boards. Gift and previous owner inscriptions to front endpaper, slight spine slant, otherwise very good.
The unclipped dust jacket - which is frequently found heavily restored - is completely original with no restoration. Some losses, primarily to upper panel. A few chips and tears to edges with some browning to verso.

The Mars Trilogy: Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars
First Edition, Modern First Editions, Science Fiction
The Mars Trilogy
By Kim Stanley Robinson
A set of first editions, first impressions of the three books comprising 'The Mars Trilogy'. 'Red Mars' received the BSFA Award in 1992 and the Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1993. 'Green Mars' won the Hugo Award for Best Novel and the Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel in 1994, and 'Blue Mars' was given the Hugo and Locus Awards in 1997.
'The Mars Trilogy' explores humanity's ambitious project to terraform Mars. Spanning nearly two centuries, the series contrasts a utopian vision of Martian society marked by egalitarianism and scientific innovation with a dystopian Earth grappling with overpopulation and environmental collapse.
Publisher's original cloth. Some toning to edges of 'Blue Mars' with a few faint spots to the top edge of 'Green Mars', else near fine. A little edge wear to the bottom edge of the original and unclipped dust jackets, with a very small nick to the bottom edge of 'Red Mars', otherwise near fine.

A Song of Ice and Fire
By George R. R. Martin
Five volumes. All first UK editions, first impressions. The basis for the popular TV series with the concluding two volumes to the book series, 'The Winds of Winter' and 'A Dream of Spring' still in production.
A Game of Thrones:
Original red cloth with lettering to spine in gilt. A very good or better copy with mild rubbing to spine ends and a little of the usual yellowing to edges, in a near fine and unclipped dust jacket with minor signs of wear to edges.
A Clash of Kings:
Original blue cloth with lettering to spine in gilt with only mild traces of handling wear and '1171' written in pen, inconspicuously, on the rear paste-down, covered by the lower flap of the dust jacket, else a near fine example.
A Storm of Swords:
Original blue cloth with lettering to spine in gilt. A very good or better copy. The corner of the upper spine has been pushed. A handful of the preliminary pages have a crease to the side text block.
A Feast for Crows:
Original red cloth with lettering to spine in gilt. A fine copy in fine dust jacket.
A Dance with Dragons:
Original black cloth with silver lettering to spine. A little concavity to the spine due to the size of the volume with a light scuff mark to the edge of the lower flat of the dust jacket and light edge wear.
A near fine set, overall.
