About This Item
LONDON: METHUEN & CO. LTD. NEAR FINE IN A VERY GOOD D.J.. PUB 1937. FIRST EDITION. HARDCOVER. IDENTICAL TO THE FIRST IMPRESSION AND FIRST ISSUE (SATTY & SMITH A7.1.1.1) WITHOUT PRICE OF "8s. 6d. net" ON FRONT FLAP . LIGHT BLUE CLOTH COVERED BOARDS WITH MAROON TITLES TO THE SPINE. BOOK IS FINE WITHOUT ANY MARKS TO THE BINDING OR THE TEXT WITH SPINE VERY SLIGHTLY DISCOLORED AND A TRACE OF CORNER RUB. D.J. IS VERY NICE SOME MODEST PROFESSIONAL RESTORATION TO THE CORNERS OF THE DARKENED SPINE PANEL AND CORNERS AND IS NOT PRICE-CLIPPED. (NOTE THAT FLAPS DO NOT HAVE THE "8s. 6d. net" PRICE BUT NONE ARE CLIPPED) I BELIEVE THAT THIS BOOK WAS INTENDED FOR THE CANADIAN MARKET AS IT TURNED UP THERE. SATTY AND SMITH DO NOT MENTION A CANADIAN ISSUE. AN EXCELLENT COPY OF A BOOK AND D.J. THAT ON THE RARE OCCASION IT DOES TURN UP IT DOES SO IN LESS THAN COLLECTIBLE CONDITION. .

Reviews
On Dec 6 2021, a reader said:
How does a man describe the surfaces of moons, and interstellar travel as if he had actually done it? The sheer intellect of Mr. Stapledon is daunting, his writing style effusive, and compelling. If you love science fiction, you cannot overlook Olaf Stapledon. A man whom influenced some of our Golden Age Giants. Starmaker is a psychedelic, Transcendant voyage of discovery through the cosmos that will whisk you away as if you were born to it.
The way that Shakespeare understood the human condition as if connected to several older minds, Mr. Stapledon describes things he could not possibly know, let alone imagine, and leads me to believe that he was similarly attuned to reality, and truth. Get the book, and read it as soon as possible!
