TEN THOUSAND LIGHT-YEARS FROM HOME.
London: Eyre Methuen, [1975]. Octavo, boards. First hardcover edition. Introduction by Harry Harrison. The author's first book and first story collection. Collects fifteen stories. "Fifteen sf stories, about a third of them slick comedies from the author's debut year (1968), the remainder increasingly powerful and anguished works of the sort which made Tiptree the most fashionable American sf author of the early 1970s. High points include 'And I Awoke and Found Me Here on the Cold Hill's Side" and 'Painwise' - stories which successfully fuse slickness with soul." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 366.
