THE DEMOLISHED MAN, Shasta, 1953, first edition, very fine (the covers snap back) in fine pictorial dust-wrapper. The first novel to be awarded the coveted HUGO award. SIGNED by the author. One of the subscriber's copies. (If you haven't read this science fiction murder mystery, you've really missed something quite innovative in the genre).
