About This Item

New York: Bantam, 1988. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Ron Miller. This wildly successful book by Hawking went into multiple printings after a somewhat choppy printing start. As it is, this is the choppy start - the first state DJ and book. The first state is quite rare as it has numerous errors and was subsequently destroyed, ( it lacks a Table of Contents as well as having no Dedication and the DJ has factual errors ). Introduction by Carl Sagan. Small ink signature on FFEP, small stain to rear paste down. A touch of edge wear to DJ at crown of spine and some wrinkling to a few interior pages.

Synopsis

A Brief History of Time is a popular science book written by Stephen Hawking and first published by the Bantam Dell Publishing Group in 1988. It became a best-seller and has sold more than 9 million copies. It was also on the London Sunday Times best-seller list for more than four years. There is also a documentary by the same name, directed by Errol Morris and released in 1991. Unlike the book, the documentary is primarily a biography of Stephen Hawking.
