About this Item

This hardcover book is Fine, being square and tight. The boards and spine have no wear with pristine lettering. The pages and endpages are clean, with no markings or folds. The dustjacket is Very Good; with a whisper of touch to two points and minor shelf-wear. Original Price is intact. Not ex-lib. No remainder mark. This copy was purchased in a lot of signed books. This copy is purported to be signed but I am unable to verify that it is a Gentry Lee signature. It is not the signature of Arthur C. Clarke. Frankly, it appears eligible. Scans can be sent upon request, but to be on the safe side I have priced this copy as if it is not signed. August 1988.
