This, I believe is the last of my Dad’s Sci-fi collection that is coming to me nowish. (Mom is keeping some stuff that she also liked, as is meet and proper). Note the ALL OF THE HEINLEIN. Dad was, uh, very big into Heinlein.

This copy of A Clockwork Orange ends with a brief essay about how cull Anthony Burgess is that is written by none other than Stanley Hyman (that is, Shirley Jackson’s husband). It also appears to have the American ending, not the original English one that so confuses folks
