Review
"Not only America's premier writer of speculative fiction, but the greatest writer of such fiction in the world."
"There is no other writer whose work has exhilarated me as often and to such an extent as Heinlein."
"Robert Heinlein is America's acknowledged master of science fiction."
"Heinlein knows more about blending provocative scientific thinking with strong human stories than any dozen other contemporary science fiction writers."
"One of the grand masters of science fiction."

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. "FIRST EDITION" on the front bottom of its dust jacket. On its copyright page are the ISBN, LCCN 80-67367, and "First printing: 1980". On its jacket's front flap is the publisher's original "$12.95" price. This book is in very good condition, marred only by a thin line of sunfade along its covers' top edge, a very shallow crease in its spine, and a few tiny spots (light stains or foxing) on the edges of its text block, not extending onto page faces. Its binding is sound and square. Covers are unmarked and otherwise unworn, with bright gilt titles on its spine. Pages are unworn and otherwise unmarked. Not a remainder. Its dust jacket, now protected by a removable mylar cover, is in near fine condition: whole, unworn, and unmarked, with a slightly faded spine, but otherwise bright. I will ship this book in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure it reaches its new owner in the same condition as my description. Seller Inventory # 004141
