First Edition Signed
First edition of one of Philip K. Dick's most acclaimed novels. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by Philip K. Dick on the front free endpaper. Fine in a near fine dust jacket with light rubbing. Jacket design by Peter Rauch. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Rare and desirable signed. Ubik "features the creation of a subjective world by a group of people killed in an accident but restored to a kind of consciousness within a preservative machine, though any final determination of what is real in the book is made superbly problematical" (Clute & Nicholls, 329). "A brilliantly realized science fiction future darkened by Kafkaesque paranoia. As portrayed by Dick, a world in which cryogenic suspension has abolished traditional concepts of death and in which psychics can alter the future by changing the past is one that offers no foundation for objective truth" (Barron, Fantasy and Horror 6-113). It was chosen by Time magazine as one of the 100 greatest novels since 1923.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Peter Rauch (illustrator). 1st Edition. By the master of sci-fi, Philip K. Dick, Ubik appears most often in the form of an aerosol spray; it seems to counter time-regression and save the lives of those to whom it is applied. It could be taken as a divine symbol. It could be a more straightforward phallic symbol. Dust jacket by Peter Rauch. First printing in excellent condition with light darkening to the edges of the dust-jacket only. book.

First edition. A novel published toward the end of Dick's extraordinary period of productivity, Ubik presents a world of parallel time periods composed of a reality so tenuous and subjective that it remains highly dubious even at the story's close. In a striking jacket designed by Peter Rauch, the white color of which makes finding a copy in collector's condition challenging. Few spots near spine head, otherwise a fine copy in cloth, with a lightly soiled dust wrapper that is faintly toned along the extremities and shows a bit of edgewear. (Barron 4-140).

First Edition
Original Cloth. Condition: Fine. First Edition. Doubleday 1st edition, with dust-jacket. Not a book club edition! Former library copy that was never checked out. I have owned it for over 30 years. Jacket is protected with a clear, mylar sleeve. Dust jacket underneath mylar still has a nice whiteness. Back, blank page was cut by the library that the pocket was attached. Library owner's stamp and a couple of 'discard' stamps on the blank, first page and a small, sticker (that may be removed) at the bottom of spine where a dewy dec. number would normally be except it is blank. A fine copy in a near fine jacket outside of the mentioned signs of library ownership. Spine is straight. The book is tight. It appears to have never been read. Only very slight hints of shelf wear. This book has become very difficult to find, especially in higher grades. One of the best SF works of the 20th Century. My understanding is a film is being produced in 2009 on a screenplay that Dick composed and approved for a French filmmaker in 1976. See Lem's book of essays on science fiction criticism, Microworlds, devotes several chapters to Dick and Ubik in particular. This will be shipped with required insurance and required signature.

First Edition
First edition, first printing, of one of the author's most acclaimed works, a "masterpiece of malleability" that has resisted several attempts to adapt it for the screen; director Michel Gondry shelved work on his adaptation in 2014, remarking that "it was a dream, but in life you can't always have what you want" (quoted in Henz). Patrick Henz, "Neuromancer, Blade Runner & Ubik - 'Ethics Inside'", 18 November 2018, available online; Sam Jordison, "Philip K Dick's Ubik", 18 March 2014, available online. Octavo. Original grey cloth, spine lettered in silver. With dust jacket, designed by Peter Rauch. Spine slightly cocked, light rubbing and a couple of slight bumps to extremities, contents clean; jacket rubbed, a few creases and tiny nicks to extremities, unclipped: a very good copy in very good jacket.
