First UK Edition (Originally published in Galaxy Science Fiction magazine); A Very Good book in a Very Good dust jacket. SIGNED, inscribed, and dated by the author with a unique inscription. An outstanding copy of this novel, the first recipient of the Hugo Award (1953), a publisher's sticker is affixed to the front flap announcing the award; the UK edition, with the Gerard Quinn illustration, much more uncommon in today's marketplace, particularly signed (as of this listing, the only signed UK copy available in the online market). This copy is in very good condition showing only mild foxing to the text block, a couple of small stains to the boards, and some light rubbing to the spine lettering. Housed in a crisp and bright very good or better dust jacket that shows some mild rubbing and chipping to the spine ends and corners, a few small tears, one to the spine, a tiny one to the front panel at the man's forehead, and one near the top of the front flap fold, and some minor dark soiling to the back panel. Overall, a highly presentable and collectible copy of this early award winning novel; Not remaindered, not price clipped, not ex-library; in a protective Mylar sleeve and will ship carefully wrapped in a sturdy box.…
