Second Variety by Philip K. Dick, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. Published in 1953, this is one of Philip K. Dick's most celebrated stories. After years of war between the United States and the Soviet Union, the battlefield is ruled by "claws," self-replicating killing machines that have begun designing new types of their own, some that look human. A tense, paranoid classic, later filmed as Screamers.
About this leather-bound edition
Each copy is bound by hand in genuine leather over sturdy boards, with decorative tooling and gold-tone foil lettering on the spine. Natural variation in grain, shade and foil impression is part of the character of every handmade book, so no two copies are exactly alike.
The thickness and weight of the finished book depend on the length of this particular title. Longer works make a noticeably thicker volume, while shorter works are slimmer.
