Iain M. Banks - The State of the Art - Orbit, 1991, First Edition.

London, Orbit, 1991. First Edition. First Impression. Hardback. A fine copy. First hardback thus. Ziesing published the titular novella by itself two years earlier. Banks' first collection of science fiction short stories. Brings together eight works, most previously published in anthologies or magazines, including his only non-SF published under the Iain M. Banks name. A fine copy with a little bumping to the spine tips, and some dustiness to the top of the block. Cover art by Nick Day [8618, Hyraxia Books].
