This is one of a number of books I got from a serious collector.  They were all bagged and most are in near pristine condition.  I took them out of their plastic collector’s bags in order to provide great photographs of the awesome quality of these books.

 Extremely collectible in good vintage condition!

 

About Book:

Meet some of the insufferably zany characters that inhabit the mad, gay, heady world of the 'arts'...

GASPARD DE LA NUIT - human journeyman writer. He has problems with an eager girlfriend, Heloise Ibsen (assigned to him by his publisher.) What he really loves is the robot that actually writes his novels, which he oils with devoted care. His closest friend is

ZANE GORT - a fine, upstanding, self-employed robot writer, Zane writes books for other robots and is madly in love with

MISS BLUSHES - a censor robot who is something of a prude and rather hysterical - very logical when you consider her circuits are wired for censorship, but it makes life difficult for Zane. He turns for help to

NURSE BISHOP - a small but formidably beautiful human who plays nursemaid to a mysterious group of near-human entities who are owned by

FLAXMAN AND CULLINGHAM - human publishers of low cunning and deplorable language.

And there are many, many more...
