Tim is correct. It's the title story of a collection published in
1986. Apart from the title story, all the stories in the collection
are reprints from earlier collections.

Speaking of which, I know this isn't really a marketplace, but I happen to be
cleaning my basement after a flood and came across my copy of the original
limited edition signed hardcover this week.

If anyone is interested in making an offer, drop me a note at this email. It
is number 285/300 and unfortunately does not have the original cloth box as
that was damaged by water several years ago.

The book itself doesn't show any distortion, but there is a slight lightening
of the colour on the back bottom cover which makes me think it probably got
touched by the water as well.
