No marks or inscriptions. A very clean copy with bright unmarked boards, very slight bumping to spine ends and no bumping to corners. Dust jacket not price clipped or marked or torn or creased with slight rubbing to top of spine and minor traces of storage. Blue silk ribbon bookmark attached. 482pp. An account of the voyages of the poet Oi Paz to the system of Strim in the seventeenth galaxy; of his mission to the planet Sykaos (Earth), of his first cruel captivity; of his travels about its surface; of the manners and customs of its beastly people; of his second captivity; and of his return to Oitar. A humourous and subversive parody on the unpleasant inhabitants of Planet Earth by a visiting alien. To which are added many passages from the Poet's journal, documents in Sykotic script, and other curious matters. Selected and
