THE ISLAND OF DOCTOR DEATH AND OTHER STORIES AND OTHER STORIES. New York: Published by Pocket Books, [1980]. Octavo, printed orange wrappers. Advance copy (uncorrected proof) of the first edition. Includes "The Death of Doctor Island," winner of the 1973 Nebula award for best novella, plus thirteen other stories, several of which were Hugo and Nebula nominees. "A superb 400-page volume of 14 subtle, deceptive SF and fantasy stories (some of them of novella length). The tricksy titles -- three of the pieces are called 'The Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories,' 'The Death of Doctor Island (Nebula award-winner, 1973) and 'The Doctor of Death Island' -- should not be allowed to confuse the reader: these are serious fictions, beautifully written and full of deep imaginative insights. But there is a great deal of playfulness here too." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 191. "Some of the best American short stories of the decade are in this book." - Ursula K. Le Guin. Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-1281. A fine copy. (#111124).
