Gene Wolfe - The Castle of the Otter - Zeising Brothers, 1982, Signed First Edition.

Willimantic, CT, Zeising Brothers, 1982. First Edition. First Impression. Hardback. A fine copy. Part of Wolfe's phenomenal Book of the New Sun series (in turn part of the Solar Cycle). Inscribed by Wolfe on the title page 'For [???] Gene Wolfe'. A fine copy. Collects 11 essays and a bibliography. Locus magazine misheard the title of the fourth book, which was to be titled Citadel of the Autarch, as Castle of the Otter (they later corrected it). Wolfe then picked it for the title of the present book (Barry Malzberg is also misspelt on the dedication page, presumably intentionally). A great copy, one 5mm closed tear to the jacket. There was a signed limited edition of 100 copies, these were numbered. This is apparently not one of those copies. Cover art by Stephen Fabian [7216, Hyraxia Books].
