Unlocking The Air and Other Stories; Ursula K. LeGuin; book and dust cover very good condition; Harper Collins publishers; 1996 stated First Edition.
 
This collection of mainstream stories, which have been published in such distinguished magazines as The New Yorker, Harper's, Omni, and Playboy, is a stunning example of the virtuosity of the legendary Ursula K Le Guin.
 
In her own words:  "These stories span twelve years of writing, from the early eighties to the mid-nineties.  It took them a long time to gether themselves into a whole, with the shape and the subtle interconnections that make a bunch of stories into a book."
