Hard Cover. Dust Jacket Condition: Dust Jacket. First Edition. (London: Faber & Faber 1932). First UK Edition. Publisher's red boards with metallic-green spine lettering. Purple top-edge. SIGNED & INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR IN HIS REAL NAME. Boards really bright and clean; some foxing to both sets of end-papers and, to a lesser extent, to the page block edges. Overall, a VG++ copy inscribed by the Author on the front free end-paper in his real name: "Annie/ with much love/ from Harry". In the VERY RARE dustwrapper priced 7/6 net to the inside flap (as called for). The VG++ dustwrapper has a touch of fraying at the head of the spine and a small chip (1.7 x 0.7 cm) from the top left-hand corner of the spine/ top right-hand corner of the back panel. None of the usual fading to the spine of the dustwrapper. Superb cover art by A E Taylor. In Bleiler. This is a "Philosophical science fiction novel of communication from an older planet which discusses the postulate that life on Earth was the result of an accident, a sort of cosmic miscarriage." Scarce with these attributes. NB: the Faber first edition of this title is the "true" first edition that pre-dates its publication in the USA by Century in New York.
