Description
The ambitious program
to collect the short fiction of Grand
Master Jack
Williamson concludes!
As with previous
volumes
in this series, the
full-color endpapers
reproduce the original magazine covers (with artwork by masters
including Virgil Finlay, Jim Burns, Luis Royo and Vincent Di Fate) of
the
stories
herein,
and the
binding is designed to match the 1940s editions of Williamson's works
published by Fantasy Press. The book
is smythe-sewn, bound in full cloth, and printed on acid-neutral paper,
with full-color endpapers reproducing each story's original cover
art.
With a foreword by
award-winning author and long-time friend of
Williamson, Connie Willis, At the
Human Limit represents the
changing state of mid-20th Century American Science Fiction and
concludes the
documentation of Williamson's unparalleled career.
