This book offers ten of these fantastic, interplanetary tales, personally selected for this volume by the author. The hardcover appeared under the title "Scarlet Dream" in 1981. The cover art is by Jim Burns. . Overall Fair Condition, Binding Tight, Pages Look Good . . . #northwestsmith #scarletdream #clmoore #paperbacksciencefiction https://www.instagram.com/p/CC6J7a6g8mE/?igshid=lram13922lnp
