About This Item
Hardcover with dust jacket, published by Macmillan, 1963. First published in 1939, this is the 1963 Book Club edition. Dystopian novel, set more than a thousand years in the future, long after the moon had collided with Earth. Includes the introduction by John Gassner,Professor of Playwriting at Yale, and an 'Epilogue' by George Gamow, Professor of Physics at the University of Colorado. Illustrated by Joseph Mugnaiini. 274 pages, 5-3/4" X 8-1/2". The dust jacket has been protected with a clear, removable cover. Jacket has rubbing wear at the edges, and a small chip at the top right corner of the back panel, about 1/2 inch long and 1/4 inch tall. Also a 1 inch long closed tear at the bottom left edge of the back panel, with diagonal crease marks adjacent to the tear. Red-orange top-stain does not appear to be faded - with one small dot of a stain - about the size of a sesame seed, on that top edge. Lower left corner of the back cover is damaged - bumped at that corner with diagonal crease marks, about 2 inches long and 3/4 inch tall - see photos. No former ownership marks, no writing on the text pages. Binding is tight and square. Not a library discard. Attached are some photos of the copy we have in our inventory.
