It was dusty, and someone had spilled an alarming substance on its first few pages at some point in the 1970s, but it is an intoxicatingly self-delighted artifact of New Wave SF.
It's awesome. I also have a crumbling paperback copy—I'm not sure it exists in any other form. The really hilarious part was having just heard of Kyril Bonfiglioli for the first time a few days previously (I still haven't gotten around to trying the Charlie Mortdecai novels) and then discovering one of his rare science fiction stories in the table of contents. Thank you, universe.
