THE EGG OF THE GLAK AND OTHER STORIES. New York, Evanston, and London: Harper & Row, Publishers, [1969]. Octavo, cloth-backed boards. First edition. The author's first book. Excellent -- but neglected -- collection of eleven stories first published in PLAYBOY, MAGAZINE OF FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION, NEW WORLDS, and elsewhere. "The only collection of stories by a little-known and unprolific master of the genre. From the bizarre title story to tales of deep-sea monsters, Jacobs spins a magic web, walking the tightrope between New York-based realism and the most fantastic notions. An author to be rediscovered." - Barron (ed), Fantasy Literature 4A-144. Merest hint of foxing to top edge of text block, a fine copy in nearly fine dust jacket with light discoloration to rear panel and dust jacket flaps caused by offset of orange dye on boards and common (seemingly endemic) to this book. Still a superior copy of a very elusive book. (#140285).
