AN INFINITE SUMMER. London, Boston: Faber and Faber, [1979]. Octavo, boards. First edition. Signed inscription by Priest to "David" on the title page. The author's second collection of short fiction, including two Hugo nominees. "Five delicate sf/fantasy stories about time and perception. Most notable are the title piece, 'Palely Loitering' and 'The Watched.'
