About This Item
London: Dennis Dobson, 1962. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. First edition first printing. Hardback book is tight clean and square. Boards sharp and clean, gilt perfect. Text block clean, with toning to edges, remainder mark to lower edge. Feels read. Minor bump to head and foot of spine, very good condition. The original jacket is not present, a previous owner has hand painted a replacement jacket as shown in the bookseller image. Interesting. Overall a very good copy. This copy is not ex-lib, not priced clipped and has no inscriptions. This book is fitted with a non adhesive archival quality book protector to make a quality addition to your collection. Note we do not use stock images, the book pictured is the book described. A solid example of this well regarded collection of SF stories.
