First Edition/First Printing with the ""A"" and the 7.57 code to the copyright page; A Very Good book in a Very Good dust jacket. An outstanding copy of this early novel by one of our SciFi masters; this title uncommon in the first printing and in this condition. This copy is in very good or better condition with a square, tight binding, sharp red lettering over clean beige boards, and clean, white pages throughout; the book does show some mild rubbing to the spine head, a PO bookplate to the front pastedown, a moderate over opening to the half title page, and a couple of stamps from previous library collections (not an ex-library, but evidently a part of a couple of collections). Housed in a crisp and bright very good or better dust jacket that shows some moderate rubbing and chipping to the spine ends and corners, mild creasing to the folds and edges with a couple of tiny holes along the spine edges, and some slight darkening to the spine. Overall, a handsome and collectible copy of a scarce book; Not remaindered, not price clipped ($2.95 intact); in a fresh Mylar sleeve and will ship carefully wrapped in a sturdy box.
