REPRIEVE FROM PARADISE. New York: Gnome Press Inc., [1955]. Octavo, tan boards, spine stamped in black. First edition. A post-atomic war dystopia in which the now static authoritarian "Hierarchy" ruling the Earth has encouraged human reproduction, resulting in overpopulation and the extinction of most insects and animals. Some age-darkening to text block (a fault common to this book), a fine copy in near fine dust jacket with light foxing to front panel (narrow area along top edge), spine panel, and along flap folds. Still an attractive jacket. (#106746).
Price: $25.00
