About This Item
Boston: Gregg Press, 1977. 1st Edition . Hardcover. As New. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Fine. Remarkably so. 'The Rocket to the Moon' in the Gregg Press 1977 edition of Thea Von Harbou's "Frau im Mond". First Printing Thus, so stated on the copyright page. Octavo, deep green cloth with maroon and gilt spine imprinting, frontispiece illustration by Richard Powers, 201 pp. (xiii + 187 + 1). No dust jacket, as issued. A flawless example. The diversely talented - but science-fiction noted - Thea Gabriele von Harbou essays a Verne-like tale of adventure, by a woman in this case. A sci-fi collector's must-have, in the best possible condition. First printing thus, as well. Ships in very stout protection, of course. LG8
