Robert Aickman - Tales of Love and Death - Gollancz, 1977, Signed First Edition.

London, Gollancz, 1977. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A fine copy. An important association copy, inscribed by the author to Ann Pym and Mary George. Pym and George were two of Aickman's closest friends, particularly in later life. Aickman wrote some of the stories herein at their house - this is mentioned in the inscription too. A lovely association. Aickman dedicated Cold Hand in Mine to George and Pym. The present copy comes from the estate of Ann Pym. Gathers together seven short stories. His sixth collection, three stories herein previously published in anthologies. A little bumping to the spine tips. [11115, Hyraxia Books].
