London: Secker & Warburg,, 1964. First UK edition, first impression, of the novel that launched the Planet of the Apes franchise. The book is "a witty, philosophical tale à la Voltaire, full of irony and compassion, quite unlike the [first] film adaptation, Planet of the Apes (1968), which used only the book's initial premise and lost its satirical point" (SFE). First published in 1963 as La Planète des singes, the first English language version, translated by Xan Fielding, was published in the United States in June 1963 under the title Planet of the Apes. The London edition, titled Monkey Planet, followed in January 1964. Octavo. Original green boards, spine lettered in silver. With dust jacket. Three tiny splash marks on top edge, otherwise fresh. A near-fine copy in like dust jacket, unclipped, typical green sunning to spine, nick and short closed tear at head of rear panel, a bright and sharp example. Not in Bleiler, Currey, or Locke.
