    A truly excellent novel.

    And the call-out to the Folio Society (editions at the intersection of books and works of art) is well earned. For those into such things, I'd suggest Centipede Press as another press that, at it's best, goes even beyond Folio Society for great quality and artistic merits, and has similarly great taste in selection -- this [1] stands out as two novellas that have been formative to me, and an edition that both lives up to the original (including the back-to-back printing of the original paperback) and that I'll be happy to pass on.

      I just recently got a Suntup edition of A Scanner Darkly. Another publisher whose bindery is itself a work of art.
