Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. First Edition, First Printing. SIGNED FOR SF CRITIC D. DOUGLAS FRATZ - TIME TRAVEL, SURREALISM, AND THE NEW WAVE IMAGINATION Jack Dann's Timetipping is an inventive collection of speculative fiction stories blending science fiction, fantasy, mysticism, and psychological surrealism. Signed by Dann on the personal bookplate of influential science-fiction editor, reviewer, and publisher D. Douglas Fratz, this copy carries strong association value within late twentieth-century speculative-fiction circles. With an introduction by Roger Zelazny, the collection explores shifting identities, fractured realities, time dislocation, Jewish mysticism, and urban estrangement through fourteen ambitious stories. Dann's work occupies the literary edge of modern speculative fiction, where philosophical inquiry and emotional unease replace conventional genre boundaries. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Black cloth-backed boards with metallic spine titles. Octavo format. Hardcover with original illustrated dust jacket designed by Margo Herr. First Edition, First Printing. Laid-in Doubleday review slip present. Signed by Jack Dann on D. Douglas Fratz bookplate. CONDITION: No flaws or blemishes beyond minimal shelf handling. Dust jacket bright and well-preserved. An excellent collector copy, still gift quality. From the library of D. Douglas Fratz. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - Jack Dann emerged as one of the important literary voices of modern speculative fiction, helping expand the genre beyond traditional adventure narratives into psychologically complex and experimental territory. The stories in Timetipping blend science fiction, fantasy, mysticism, and surrealism, often using time travel and metaphysical settings to explore memory, identity, alienation, and consciousness rather than technology alone. Stories such as The Dybbuk Dolls weave Jewish folklore into psychological horror, while Junction transforms New York City into a symbolic landscape of fractured perception and urban isolation. Roger Zelazny's introduction places Dann within the New Wave movement that reshaped speculative fiction during the 1960s and 1970s. This signed copy, from the library of influential SF reviewer and editor D. Douglas Fratz and retaining its original Doubleday review slip, remains closely tied to the professional reviewing and fandom culture that sustained literary science fiction in the late twentieth century.
