A for Anything by Damon Knight Publisher: Tor Books (December 1, 1989) ISBN-10: 0812543106 ISBN-13: 9780812543100 Paperback: 217 pages Item Weight: 4 ounces 4.1 x 6.85 inches In a near future USA an obscure inventor creates the Gizmo - a device which can duplicate anything, including itself.

Knight subsequently revised the text, which was published by Berkley in 1961 as A for Anything. It is generally considered to be Knight's finest novel. Knight has said of this novel: "I chose the matter duplicator, because I thought other authors had handled it badly. Very Good condition - spine creases
