First Edition. THE MACHINE STOPS, Robert Hale, 1936, first edition, small patches of black residue evidenced at base of f.e.p. & f.p.d. most likely from old dust-wrapper protector, else a tight, solid vg copy in the publishers original black cloth binding and original attractive pictorial dust-wrapper with some less than professional repair at the head and heel of the dust-wrapper spine, some inner tape mends and some dust-soiling. Exceedingly rare in any dust-wrapper. All metals disintegrate returning civilization to a barbaric state until---- Not to be confused with the classic 1928 short story by E.M. Forester (although the major theme is certainly very similar).
