Berkley Medalion January 1967 paperback. Cover by Richard Powers; 144 pages. Condition is Fine: very tight and square with flat spine; age tanning is very mild and uniform (less than you would expect for its age.) First page has 3 crossed-out numbers written in pen at upper right corner - no other marks, stamps or wrting. A very clean copy that looks new/unread.

[the back-cover blurb]: The Quy Effect was so powerful that in one instant it obliterated an entire building. Only the concrete floor and stumps of walls, like the excavated ruins of some ancient city, gave any indication that there had been a building there at all. Its implications were so revolutionary as to render all past scientific concepts obsolete... which only served to alienate the entire scientific community against its inventor, Adolphe Quy...

I read this 3 decades ago and had a lot of fun. I found this in hardcover and will cheerfully sell as many nice copies as I can find. If you have a chance, I recommend tracking down more of Selling's output - which includes 2 collections (stories from the Fifties/Sixties) and a handful of novels.
