Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. TWO copies: a lovely copy in very good condition for your bookshelf, and a good copy to read. Both are the paperback original first edition, Perma Books #M-4022 with "First Printing ? May, 1955" and no other printings on their copyright page. The bookshelf copy is marred only by shallow hinge creases, a bit of lean, some wear with a very short hinge split at top of spine, some rubbing on the back cover, and traces of wear to cover edges. Its binding is tight, with no spine crease. Covers are bright and unmarked. Pages are unmarked and unworn, with no apparent fading to publisher's yellow stain around edges of the text block. The reading copy has a sound binding and unmarked pages. As with all Space Age Book purchases, I will ship these books in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure they reach their new owner in the same condition as my description.
