About This Item
Philadelphia: Westminster Press. Good in Very Good- dust jacket. ©1965. Reprint. Hardcover. 0664323456 . 176 p. 21 cm. Copyright date only, and dust jacket has an ISBN on it, indicating a later printing because the ISBN did not exist in 1965. Sound and square binding in beige, cloth-covered boards. Puncture mark on the upper board, does not go through board. Tape shadow marks to upper and lower boards where it was taped to the dustjacket. Ex-library indicators include card pocket in back, and a couple of stamps on the copyright page. Dustjacket was in original mylar which is now replaced with a fresh one. The jacket has a small L shaped tear to the upper front edge, a small ink squiggle on the rear panel and a call number sticker on the spine. Tape shadow marks on both flaps. The jacket has a price clip on the bottom corner of the front flap, with the tiny bit of the dollar sign remaining. Even with its faults, it's not an unattractive copy. A children's science fiction story about a robot named Rex and his human owner Paul and what happens when Paul is told he cannot take his robot from Jupiter back to Earth. This title was ghostwritten by Paul W. Fairman under Del Rey's name. Ex-Library .
