Hubbed spine, acid neutral paper with page edges gilded, satin moire endpapers, and a satin ribbon book mark sewn in. Unused publisher supplied bookplate laid in (not attached). Issued by Easton Press signed by the author on a special signature page without inscription or personalization. Signed by the introduction writer on the title page without inscription or personalization. The regular trade edition of this book was mass market paperback format. From what I can find on the internet, this book contains all the Earthgrip stories written by Turtledove.

Synopsis: Jennifer Logan was young, gorgeous, and utterly devoted to teaching Middle English. But to qualify for any decent teaching position, she'd have to make her resume stand out. Since her specialty was science fiction, she wrangled a berth on a trading ship bound for the stars. Just one trip, she figured, then back to a nice, safe classroom. . . But Jennifer hadn't fully appreciated her own talent. She had a keen eye, a fresh perspective -- and all of science fiction to fall back on when the going got tough!
