About this Item

Lovely copy of this science-fiction novella by Ruth Vassos illustrated by husband and industrial designer John Vassos. A different edition of this in blue cloth was issued with a dustjacket, but it is unclear if this version, likewise published in 1930, ever had one. 7.75" x 10.25" hardcover book in red cloth with gilt decoration/titling to front and spine. Unpaginated with black and white illustrations, printed in the "Knudsen Process", evidently a very fine-screened half-tone lithograph. Book, now in protective mylar jacket, from the collection of a tobacco smoker with attendant, mild tanning to spine and a faint smoky aroma within. Pages are however quite bright and crisp, illustrations vivid and attractive. Binding square, sound and firm. Boards still quite fresh with sharp corners and only hints of wear to the edges and corners. Very good+. Seller Inventory # ABE-1692293153610
