About This Item
Harcourt Brace & World, 1965. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. First edition/printing thus. Book is in Near Fine condition, solid with some very light scuffing bottom text edge and light spine tip wear. Dust jacket is in Very Good condition with some overall light creasing, short tears, one small chip, and a touch of foxing. Overall, a nice copy of the uncommon true first edition (thus) and priced as an economical alternative to higher grade copies and certainly each novel if bought separately. Classic Clarke stuff here!
