The Lions and the Lambs by Thomas Fensch.
I have several copies of this hard-to-find book available. Prices range from $150 for a clean copy with a dust jacket to $180 for an autographed copy. Shipping is extra, but in the US it is about $5 for media mail. Email me at bobjewett@sonic.net for more info.
I also have copies of the new paperback printing, including some copies that were signed by Fensch.
