Beschreibung

The First UK Printing published by Lutterworth Press, London in 1956. 8vo., black publisher's boards lettered and decorated in yellow to spine with space adventure series rocket logo and publisher's name to foot; complete in the pictorial wrapper illustrated by Cullen ; black and white frontis on glossy paper replicating the wrapper design; The BOOK a fresh copy, with mild pushing to spine ends a couple of small spots to the outer edges of text block, one or two lightly encroaching to title; near-Fine, otherwise, in a Very Good- WRAPPER creased and rubbed to edges with a little loss affecting the lower corner of front panel; spine tips, and 2cm triangular hole to lower panel resulting in minor loss to two letters. Two small closed tears and one to the upper edge of the rear panel. The wrapper is protected in a removable Brodart archival cover. Patrick Moore is best known for his non-fictional writings on the Universe, as well as his prominence as a radio commentator and television presenter. However, he also penned a large number of science fiction stories, each with striking pictorial dust jackets, with this particular example the fifth in a run of eight works on the subject of the moon. The story is centred around the concept of building a giant wheel, positioned in space and the base for which rockets can refuel. It also concerns the treacherous attempts of an international gang to disrupt the plans. The front flap of the wrapper reassures us that All Incidental Astronautical Information is Accurate. Very elusive in any collectible condition. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact. Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers ABE-1480082275897
