Ragel Gumm described himself as a bum. He spent all day doing puzzles in the newspaper and fooling about with his neighbour's wife. He was also aware of another world and another time that seemed to be conspiring against him. But it wasn't a simple case of being a paranoiac drop-out. Ragel Gumm was the centre of the Universe - the Universe of 1969 - or was it 1959? Penguin Science Fiction 2847. Cover design by Franco Grignani. The covers have general marks and some light creases; surface rubbing to corners , spine ends, spine hinges, and along edges. Area of surface damage on rear probably caused by label removal.
