Some wear to front cover with handwritten personal dedication to inside front cover & second-hand book seller's stamp to Half-Title page:- Synopsis: As Edward Lucie-Smith points out… in his introduction to this volume, "after the first sputnik was launched, space itself became both less rewarding and less easy to write about".
