Writing as "John Blaine", Hal Goodwin partnered with Peter Harkins in 1947 to kick off a new "Rick Brant Electronic Adventure" juvenile series with this book, "The Rocket's Shadow". This is a 1955 printing, listing 10 Rick Brant titles on its front jacket flap. The book is in near fine condition, marred only by traces of wear to the top and bottom of the spine. The binding is sound and square, with no reading crease in the spine. The boards -- covered in brown "tweed" cloth -- are unfaded, unmarked and otherwise unworn. The pages are unmarked and unworn, with no apparent age toning. The bright, colorful dust jacket (now protected by a removable mylar cover) is in very good+ condition, marred only by a corner-clipped front flap, some ink marks on the front flap, some light smudges on back, and very light wear at top and bottom of spine and on front flap fold. As with all Space Age Book purchases, I will ship this book in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure it reaches its proud new owner in the same condition as my description.…

Terms of sale
Terms of Sale are per ABE Books standards and your national consumer laws.
Shipping terms
- Items will be carefully packaged to assure they arrive as described.
- All shipments will be via US Postal Service unless requested otherwise. Standard shipping within the USA will be via USPS Media Mail. Priority shipping within the USA will be via USPS First Class Mail.
- My current Standard shipping rate within the USA is US$4.00 for the first book, and US$2.00 for additional books in the same order.
- There are two situations where I will refund to the buyer a portion of the postage charged by ABEBOOKS: (1) Separate orders placed on the same date for shipment to the same address will be shipped together, so I will refund half of the postage paid for the first book in each such second and subsequent order. And (2) Books described as "paperbacks" in my descriptions weigh less than other books, so I will refund US$1.00 of the paid shipping fee for the 2nd and subsequent paperbacks in the same order shipping to the same address.
- Please contact me via ABE if you have any questions or special requests about packing and shipment, such as insurance or shipment by carriers other than US Postal Service. I will be happy to work with you if my standard policies need adjustment or exceptions.
