I was not expecting a this qmong the countless harmony romance books. Paperback copy, behind a short comment from Bertrand Russel - it is all too likely to come true. Edition for the UK, AUS and New Zealand market, reprint of 1981. Yellowed out but in decent conditions.

For you art lovers: in the cover, Heinrich Hoerle, Monument to the unknown artificial limb.

The Monument to unknown prostheses is a 1930 painting by the German painter and member of the cologne progressive group Heinrich Hoerle. The 70 cm × 85 cm tall painting, executed in oil on cardboard, is one of the painter's main works and addresses the fate of war invalids after the First World War as a marginalized marginalized group. It can also be read as an anti-war image. It is now in the collection of the Wuppertal Von der Heydt Museum.

I have the same edition. I bought this over 40 years ago when we read it in school.

I've found some killer science fiction at flea markets. Nice find.
