About This Item
This is the rare, first edition of Heinlein's Hugo Award winning novel, Double Star, with "First Edition" stated on the copyright page and first issue points including the title, "The Long Tomorrow", printed on the back panel that was changed in later printings. The book is in near perfect condition with just 2-3 front endpaper pages having been creased when they were folded up when the book was closed. Otherwise, no stains, scuffs, or tears. Hinges are like new. Spine titles are bright and not faded. Pages are bright and clean. No internal markings. Dust jacket has some soiling, minor chipping and creasing to edges and spine foot and head. Two small holes on the spine just above the author's name do not obscure any of the lettering. Protected in Mylar jacket.
All proceeds benefit The Friends of the San Anselmo Library. No expedited shipping outside of the United States.
