Ballantine Books 1st printing August 1982 paperback. Cover by Rick Sternbach, 228 pages, $2.50 cover price. Condition is VG to near-Fine: tight and square with flat spine; age tanning is mild and uniform; a little wear to cover/spine edge, and back cover shows light wear as some faint scuffs and marks (may not show in scan.) No stamps, marks or writing - a clean copy that is probably unread.

Futures Past, by James White - a collection of short stories (1982.) The 1988 British version (from Orbit) is a variant (which substitutes "Custom Fitting" for "Spacebird.") Not to be confused with a Van Vogt collection with the same title from Tachyon Press.

Spacebird
Commuter
Assisted Passage
Curtain Call
Boarding Party
Patrol
Fast Trip
Question of Cruelty
False Alarm
Dynasty of One
Outrider

Half of these originally appeared in New Worlds; others from Nebula, Magazine of F&SF, Science Fantasy, and NEW WRITINGS IN SF. #21. Most of these are from the Fifties, (only 2 from the Sixties or Seventies) and from British magazines - so American readers will find them uncommon.
