Ace G-762 with minor edge wear, soil on edges of first few pages, toning Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: The second of the justly famed Anthony Villiers novels. Samuel Delany writes, in the introduction to the first volume, Starwell: "It ... examines the proposition that the world is composed of small communities of mutual interest ... [Star Well] is a gallery of gamblers, duels and double-crosses, a minuet of manners and manners mangled; the machinery of the universe is speculated upon; inspector generals arrive to inspect it. And Anthony Villiers, gentleman par excellence, dashes through it all, buckling a swash or two, bungling a couple of others."
