Seller: Space Age Books LLC, Conroe, TX, U.S.A.
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. First paperback edition, Dell #F118 with "First Dell printing - January, 1961" and no other printings on its copyright page. This is a shelf-worthy reading copy in very good- condition, marred only by neatly-applied clear tape reinforcement on top of the spine, a reading crease in its spine, a shallow crease in middle of the front cover, and some light wear to cover edges. Its binding is sound, with no hinge creases. Covers are bright and unmarked. Pages are unmarked and unworn. As with all Space Age Book purchases, 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.
