GEORGE R. R. MARTIN. — The Armageddon Rag. A novel.

Poseidon Press, New York, 1st Edition, First Edition (first printing). 8vo. 333pp. Quarter cloth with red paper-covered sides, lettered in gold at the spine. A fine copy in very good non-price-clipped dust wrapper, quite lightly rubbed and worn at several extremities, and with a single short closed tear to the head of the front panel. The author's seventh book, and third novel, a mystery/fantasy story seeped in 1960s rock music and culture, which Martin deems his most ambitions and experimental. Despite several awards and nominations it was a commercial disaster, leading him to retreat from prose fiction for several years. Not published in the UK in casebound format until the Gollancz reissued of 2012 (to capitalise on 'Game of Thrones' success)., Fine, Very Good
