(Blish, James)
Doctor Mirabilis.
NY: Null-Q Press, 1968. First American edition. One of 250 copies printed on a mimeograph machine on pulp paper, and stapled. This copy is inscribed and signed by Blish. This novel was first published in the U.K. in 1964, and because no American imprint would agree to publish it in the U.S., Blish was forced to self-publish in order to protect the copyright. This is the first part of the philosophical trilogy "After Such Knowledge" -- an historical novel based on the life of Roger Bacon. A fine copy in the original mailing envelope addressed by Blish, which is worn and torn. Item #18489
