THE CHALLENGE OF SPACE by Joquel, Arthur Louis, II - 1952

Hollywood: House-Warven, 1952. Octavo, pp. [1-6] 7-224, illustrations, cloth. First edition. Eccentric speculation on man's future. "Primarily concerned with ancient mysteries, but does contain a chapter on 'Youth and the New Frontier,' which provides a brief overview of the development of rocketry and the prospects of space travel. Joquel was a member of the Reaction Research Society (Glendale, CA)." - Ciancone. Ciancone 111. A fine copy in fine dust jacket with just a hint of wear at edges and faint wrinkle at bottom edge of front panel. A fairly common book in jacket, but this is an exceptionally nice copy and is scarce thus. (#158579)
