About this Item
Description:
London: Hodder and Stoughton. 1960. 8vo. First edition. Publisher s burgundy cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the wonderful dust jacket designed by Martin Kaye. A very good copy, the cloth a touch bumped at corners and spine tips, the binding tight and very gently rolled. Bookplate of Jim Whitford to the front pastedown, with some offsetting to prelims, light scattered foxing to the textblock edges, else clean. The dust jacket price-clipped, with a few short nicks and bumps to the corners, one discreet tape repair to verso. A handsome copy. One of the British science-fiction author s more famous works, dubbed a science thriller on the wrapper. Set in dystopian Britain in the 24th century, the plot involves a time-travelling escapee and a dictatorship which launches a full-scale invasion of the twentieth century. Morality and ethics tended to be at the centre of much of Maine s plot devices. Seller Inventory # 404366
