Item No: #361431 Rocannon's World. Ursula K. Le Guin.

Rocannon's World

Publication: New York: Harper and Row, 1977. First Thus.

Notes: Le Guin's first science fiction novel, first published as a paperback original Ace Double (with a novel by another writer) in 1966. The first separate edition was hardcover edition for libraries in 1975, which did not have a dust jacket. This is technically the second hardcover edition, but it's also the first one that looks like a proper novel.

This is also the first of the Hainish novels, a cycle that ended with The Left Hand of Darkness and The Dispossessed.

With a new introducton by Le Guin written for this edition and a few textual changes. 136 pages.

Edition + Condition: First printing of this edition, with a numberline ending in 1. A fine copy in a jacket that would be fine but for a bit of fading at the spine. Surprisingly uncommon.
