About this Item

This is a UK paperback first printing of this title which is SIGNED, INSCRIBED & DATED BY ARTHUR C. CLARKE TO A FAN WHO ATTENDED A SCIENCE FESTIVAL IN 1992 HELD AT MINEHEAD, SOMERSET WHERE THE AUTHOR WAS BORN. The photos show the book's condition better than I can describe. The front cover is nice and bright and not faded. The rear cover is off-white due to age and there is a feint name at the top right side by the author's name - a minor irritant in my opinion as a collector. The pages are heavily toned due to age and poor quality paper. The spine has a slight lean and the bottom of the spine has 2 centimetres missing as you can see. The binding in nice and tight with no loose pages and the copyright page confirms the first Corgi paperback printing in 1954, preceded by the Sidgwick & Jackson hardcover and two hardcover reprints.

Sale & Shipping Terms

Terms of Sale

All books in my store are my own and in my possession. I expect customers to read my listings fully and look at all photos and be aware of the terms. I will work with everyone to resolve issues but I expect the same courtesy back - if I don't reply to an email within 24 hours it means I haven't received it so you'll need to resend.

Shipping Terms

I charge shipping that reflects my actual costs. ABE only allows me to set one postage rate so I charge the rate for hardbacks sent in a box with bubble wrap and polystyrene peanuts. Where postage is less - eg a paperback or small hardback - I refund the difference once I get my receipts and know the exact cost. ALL parcels sent to the UK and USA are tracked. USA tracking I update immediately the book is sent, but UK tracking details are only updated when 10 working days has passed. If you live outside the UK tracking is NOT provided unless you choose priority mail. There will be times when, due to the value of the book, I will insist on extra postage and this will be clearly stated in my listing. If you ignore this, your order will be refused.
