Knight, Damon: CV. 07677
Tor: NY. 1985.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Uncorrected book proof (trade paperback).
''he returned to something like form, though without quite the energy of earlier efforts, in the wickedly utopian sequence comprising CV (1985), The Observers (1988) and A Reasonable World (1991), about alien parasites who turn out not to be the paranoia-justifiying plague of 1950s sf but moralistic symbionts who enforce something like rational behaviour upon humanity's leaders; in the third volume, a plethora of sf devices and utopian appeals somewhat weakens the pleasurable sting, but the series as a whole seems young at heart, and the author's cognitive energy remains clearly evident'' (Malcolm J Edwards & John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).

Knight, Damon: Humpty Dumpty: An Oval. 03302
Tor: NY. 1996.
First edition (& 1st printing).
''Humpty Dumpty is a breakthrough work for this acknowledged master of the fantastic, an intriguing, entertaining, and immensely appealing novel of a man trying to make sense of a world gone mad. The tale begins when Wellington Stout wakes in an Italian hospital, uncertain how or why he came to be there. Gradually he learns that he was shot in the head in a Milan restaurant the night before his stepdaughter's wedding, perhaps because of a mysterious packet his brother asked him to deliver. The doctors tell him he is fortunate to be alive, but Stout has his doubts. For the bullet that has entered his skull has also opened cracks in the fabric of reality, and, as in the old nursery rhyme, no force on Earth or in Heaven can put it back together again. Soon Stout is hearing voices foretelling his doom, encountering antediluvian cabals of dentists, extraterrestrial shoe salesmen, gargantuan rodents, seductive adolescent sibyls, and giant craters opening across the face of North America, and traveling on an uncertain odyssey through a distorted landscape made of the fragments of his own life and memory.''.

Knight, Damon (ed.): Orbit 12. 31850
Berkley: NY. 1974.
First paperback edition.
Paperback original.
Twelfth volume in the original sf anthology series (21 volumes published 1966-1980).
''Orbit was a seminal US original anthology series edited by Damon Knight. Although it was not the first such series (having been preceded by Star SF Stories in the USA and New Writings In SF in the UK), it was it's extraordinary early success that precipitated the boom in such series in the early 1970s. It had a more literary orientation than the sf magazines, and perhaps for this reason was especially popular with the active members of the newly formed SF Writers Of America. For whatever cause, stories from Orbit dominated the Nebula awards in their early years, although none has ever won a Hugo. Three writers in particular became associated with Orbit, and remained its most regular contributors: R.A. Lafferty, Kate Wilhelm and Gene Wolfe; in the run of 21 volumes, Lafferty and Wilhelm had 19 stories each, and Wolfe 18. Orbit lost its dominance once the flood of competitors appeared, and with #14 had to change publishers (becoming confined to a hardcover edition in the process) in order to survive. Orbit was especially notable for stories that seemed at the time odd and sui generis, quite unlike the usual run of genre sf and fantasy, but with hindsight were early signs of a general sophistication of genre sf in the 1970s, in which this series played a vital role'' (Malcolm J. Edwards & David Pringle/Encyclopedia of SF).
