By Iain [Menzies] Banks.

London: Macmillan, 1985.

First edition, first printing.

"First published 1985 by Macmillan London Limited" statement to the copyright page; £8.95 to the jacket's flap.

Banks second book is part science fiction, part fantasy, and part literary mainstream novel that employs a surreal far-future castle, a microwave gun, war criminals, and three interlocking stories.

Pages starting to tan as usual, else fine, square, firm, very tight and probably unread in black linen boards with gilt embossed titles to the spine; in a very nearly fine dust jacket with light lamination rubs and with barely visible lamination wrinkles: along the rear spine fold, to the center of the front panel and along the rear flap fold; original printed £8.95 price still intact to the front inner flap.
