About This Item
Garden City, NY: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1969. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Very Good, ex-library but stout and clean. See scans and description. Garden City, NY: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1969. First Edition, stated. Octavo, illustrated jacket, black boards with gilt spine imprinting, xii + 178 pp. Very Good; ex-library with several indications of that, but without anything like a normal amount of library wear. Solid, clean, apparently little-read, perhaps never. A nice first edition of one of the prolific Asimov's non-fiction offerings. L12n
