The Book of Rack the HealerAward Books AN1149 (1973) 1st Edition, 1st printing with 95c cover price
A weird and wonderful entry in the 1970s sci-fi paperback genre.
The Book of Rack the Healer delivers a mix of speculative biology, social control, and rebellious individualism.
On a doomed planet where humanoid mutants have evolved into strict caste roles (Keepers, Far Seers, Healers, and Power Givers), one rogue Healer dares to seek knowledge beyond his assigned place.
Condition:
- This first printing copy is clean, crisp and tight.
- Appears unread.
- Interior pages are clean with no markings, stamps, or creases
- Mid book cigarette ad is present and intact.
- Wraps are bright with only the faintest signs of age.
- Spine is square with no creasing.
A great collectors copy and a must have for fans of speculative fiction, mutant caste societies, or vintage mass market paperbacks with bold, trippy cover art.
From the same author who brought The Stork Factor, and Killbird, this is a lesser known but compelling story in the 1970s sci-fi genre.
