Garden City, New York: Doubleday & Company, 1968. First Edition. Near Fine/Near Fine. First edition, first printing. Signed by Samuel R. Delaney on the title page with "Seattle '81". Bound in publisher's black cloth boards over pink spine lettered in gilt and blocked in black. Near Fine or better with light tape ghosts to rear free endpaper, still a very sharp copy. In a Near Fine unclipped dust jacket with light edge wear and light rubbing, small penciled initials erased from the front flap and unnecessary reinforcements made to the verso at the ends of the spine and flap folds.

In Nova, Samuel R. Delany crafts an epic tale of space exploration and the pursuit of a rare substance that could decide the fate of future civilizations.
