" [The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch] is a story about technological and economic competition on a near-uninhabitable Earth and its hapless colonies." (Gregory, Science Fiction Theology, pg. 139) "[it's] not so much a satire as a metaphysical black comedy which becomes more and more nightmarish. Towards the end, it is hard to distinguish illusion from reality; and that, no doubt, is the point." (Pringle, Science Fiction The 100 Best Novels, pg. 107) Comes in a custom made clam-shell book box. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall
