Description:
Very first book in the short-lived Dig Allen series, which only published 6 titles, 1959-1962, by the author of the acclaimed Tom Corbett series. Both sought to tap into the growing interest in space exploration among an American youth fired up by their young president J. F. Kennedy. This would become Book #201 in Golden Press' larger stable of series books for young boys & girls published 1950s-1960s, with orig. $1.00 price intact to front flap.

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. No Jacket. Strauss, Myron (illustrator). Unstated printing, the front hinge is cracked and the rear hinge is starting, but both remain firm. The book also has a strong lean to the binding, heavy bumps with flaking to the paper at the spine ends and corners, a shallow loss to the upper fore corner of the front board, a tear to the spine that affects the series title, wear to the cover edges, light foxing with spots of soiling across the exterior, and age toning to the pages with foxing to some. Overall, this is a firm, Fair only copy. Seller Inventory # 209305
