Description
8vo.. Red lettered light-blue cloth in original superb unclipped Deco dust-wrapper. Cover design by Frederick Palmer Kirby. 245pp., 6pp. publisher’s list.
In good condition but showing its age. Brittle dust-wrapper a little browned and chipped at edges with light foxing all over. Book itself very slightly shaken, spine a little sunned. Minimal foxing to fore-edges. Nevertheless, clean inside and mainly tight.
First published in Prague in 1934, this is the first English edition in its very attractive period dust-wrapper. Third part of the "Noetic Trilogy", 'Hordubal' and 'Meteor' being the first two. Science Fiction classic.
