8 Leiber, FritzThe Big Time. 22793
Severn House: London 1976.
First British hardcover edition.
Hardcover.
First published as an Ace paperback original in 1961 (D-491), this UK hardcover was published in the same year as the Gregg Press hardcover edition. Winner of the 1958 Hugo Award for best novel. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR.

''his return to sf in 1958 was vigorous, his first stories introducing the Change War series, built around a time-paradox war being fought through time and space and alternate worldsby two factions, the ''Spiders'' and the ''Snakes''. The sequence comprises THE BIG TIME (1961) along with most of The Mind Spider and Other Stories (1961): THE BIG TIME, which takes place entirely in one room (an R & R location called the Place, sited beyond normal realities) is suggestive of a play in prose form, and thus reflects the author's background in theatre; both his parents were Shakespearean actors and his father appeared in many films, and Leiber himself himself acted on both stage and screen, including a small part in the Greta Garbo film Camille (1936). THE BIG TIME won a Hugo as Best Novel'' (Malcolm J Edwards/Encyclopedia of SF).


Faint spotting along top page edges, else a fine copy in a near fine dustjacket with a little edge wear to spine edges and corner tips.

9 Leiber, FritzThe Green Millenium. 29072
Severn House: London 1977.
First British hardcover edition.
Hardcover.
First published in 1953.

''his first important work of sf was Gather Darkness! (1943 ASF; 1950), in which a religious dictatorship is overthrown by rebels who disguise their superscience (colourfully, if by far-fetched logic) as witchcraft. Destiny Times Three (1945 ASF; 1957) is a neglected alternate worlds variant. In the early 1950s he became a regular contributor to Galaxy magazine, for which he wrote a number of notable stories, chiefly social satire. Paramount among these is ''Coming Attraction'' (1950), depicting an unpleasantly decadent future USA. THE GREEN MILLENIUM (1953) shows some similar thematic concerns, particularly regarding sexual mores. He then fell silent for four years, through alcoholism (about which he was candid).'' (Malcolm J. Edwards & John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).


Fine copy in a near fine dustjacket with some rubbing and light scratching to rear (black) panel.
