First appeared as a novella in in January 1962; the expanded book form publication was first issued later the same year in paperback by Berkley, New York. While the imprint of the present edition states 1962, it was actually published in January 1963. Some light wear to the jacket and a little tanning to the spine, some foxing to the edges and a couple of small nicks to the jacket. [11252, Hyraxia Books]. . Very Good. Hardback. 1st Edition. 1962.
