London, Macmillan & Co., 1987. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A fine copy. Signed by the author to the title page surrounding the M of Macmillan. Consider Phlebas is the first of Banks's Science Fiction novels, and opened the world up to The Culture and one of literature's finest space operas. An important novel and without doubt a highlight of modern science fiction. A lovely copy with just a little gentle bumping to the spine tips. [11174, Hyraxia Books].
