Orson Scott Card - Ender's Game - Tor, 1985, First Edition.

New York, Tor, 1985. First Edition. First Impression. First hardback edition. One of the highlights of modern speculative fiction. Ender's Game is one of those titles that always appears in the 'Best SF' lists. Many, if not most speculative works focus on the adventure of a story, some focus on the philosophy. It's rare for a work to accomplish both with such effect. The book itself is in decent shope, it has a slight lean and the jacket has light bumping to the spine tips and corners. Some toning to the block and a little odour, boards neat with just the odd mark here and there. Flaps a touch toned. A respectable copy.
