Tight and square with flat spine. Age tanning is light and uniform. No stamps, marks or writing. This looks unread, but there is a 1/4" hole punched in upper right corner of front cover, and a 1" line/fold-trace at bottom left corner of back cover (see scans.)

John Varley's third collection of short stories: Blue Champagne (1986.) After making a big splash in the late Seventies with his short fiction, Varley continued to produce high quality short fiction in addition to his novels. "The Pusher" and "Press Enter []" both won Hugo Awards; "Blue Champagne" made the final ballot in 1982 (I voted for it to win.) Some of these stories are part of his "Eight Worlds" series. Strongly recommended.
