The Young Traveller In Space.

By: Clarke, Arthur C.

Price: £95.00

Publisher: Phoenix House Ltd: London.: 1954.

Edition: First edition (& 1st printing).

Seller ID: 34465

Binding: Oversize hardcover.

Condition: Page edges a little browned, spine edges a little worn, faint spotting to both free endpapers, a near fine copy in a good edge-worn (but bright pictorial unfaded) dustjacket with several short closed tears and wear at both spine ends.

Non-fiction: ''with one colour plate and 31 monochrome plates and six diagrams''. Published later the same year in the USA with some differences in content as GOING INTO SPACE. Uncommon UK hardcover, particularly so with the original dustjacket - the front cover illustration is reproduced on the front board, and a lot of young boys in the 1950s would have simply thrown the dustjacket away.
