LOGAN?S RUN William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson NY: Dial Press, 1967 Hardback book in the publisher?s original red binding stamped in black on the spine with the original dust jacket, not price clipped. The book is in very good condition with two small diagonal areas on the top front board edge and bottom board edge indicating tape removal that held a clear jacket protector over the dust jacket. There is slight bit of shelf slant to the volume with slight edge wear to the bottom board edge that results from shelving a book. The black endpapers are without inner hinge cracking and firm. The interior pages are very good and I have noted in my photos two pages with minor marks. The dust jacket is not faded and not price clipped showing the $3.95 price on the front inner jacket panel. There are a few small closed tears on re edge of the front jacket flap, top of jacket spine, rear jacket panel edge. Overall this is an attractive book in an attractive dust jacket that is rather scarce to encounter in our experience. I presented this book to both authors over two decades ago, personalized to myself. LOGAN?S RUN is a major science fiction work standing the test of time, especially as unique dystopian fiction novel. Terms such as ?Sandman? and ?runner? have entered into the lexicon of science fiction literature. A film was made years ago with Michael Yorke. William Nolan looked forward to a remake of the film for many years and many scripts were written with the usual revision process but was never realized. Weirdly enough this novel about population control seems a prophetic thing that?s coming to fruition in our time as you can see reading the front and rear jacket flap panels, this was certainly a product of 1967 with the sexual revolution, youth counter culture, LSD and the rebellion against ?the man? and everything Washington D.
