DICK, Philip K. The Man in the High Castle
DICK, Philip Kindred. The Man in the High Castle. New York: Putnam. 1962. 8vo. Publisher’s black cloth lettered in red to spine and front board, in the dust jacket designed by Robert Galster. First edition, first printing, with the code ‘D36’ to gutter of p239, and the correct USD 3.95 underneath TMITHC to front flap. The book very good, the cloth with a few light marks to lower corner front, the topstain bright and unfaded with light stains. The corners and tips very gently bumped, the binding tight and gently rolled. The contents with patchy toning to endpapers, else fine, without inscriptions or stamps. The dust jacket unclipped, slightly off-centre with some water stains to front flap joint at verso, visible along the front flap, very slightly to rear joint verso, but really quite presentable despite a couple of closed tears and light rubbing to corners and tips.
Arguably PKD’s best novel and certainly one of his most famous, depicting an alternative universe in which the Axis Powers won the Second World War, conquering and later partitioning the United States of America. The novel won the 1963 Hugo Award for Best Novel, cementing Dick as one of the few science fiction writers capable of affecting broader American literature.
