*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: We’re delighted this week to feature two first edition hardcovers by one of the greatest British authors of the 20th Century, J G Ballard. His haunting themes of desolate landscapes, decline and decay, peopled by extraordinary characters, are unique and unmatched.

LOW-FLYING AIRCRAFT Jonathan Cape 1976 1st UK HC VG £40
With DJ (GD) in removable archival film.
Short stories. DJ was previously covered in poor quality plastic and taped to book, leaving tape marks on DJ edges and on book itself. This plastic cover has since been removed, leaving the DJ slightly crumpled in places, with some residue, and has been recovered in new removable archival film, which vastly improves its appearance.
THE UNLIMITED DREAM COMPANY Jonathan Cape 1979 1st UK HC FN £45
