A Pail of Air by Fritz Leiber, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. First published in Galaxy in 1951, Fritz Leiber's story imagines an Earth torn away from the Sun by a passing dark star. The atmosphere has frozen solid, and a family survives in a nest of blankets, kept alive by the boy who goes out each day to scoop up pails of frozen air. A small, haunting and ultimately hopeful classic of science fiction.
