Edited by Hubert J. Bernhard, Dorothy A. Bennett, and Hugh S. Rice, with a Preface by Harlow Shapley

DUST JACKET IS IN A BRODART SLEEVE AND HAS QUITE A BIT OF EDGE WEAR AS WELL AS A TRIANGLE OF LOST PAPER ON TOP OF REAR PANEL THAT MAY HAVE BEEN DONE BY MICKEY.  

THE BOOK IS NEAR VERY GOOD WITH FADING TO THE BOARD EDGES AND SOILING TO EXPOSED PAGE EDGES, MOSTLY ON TOP WHERE 80 YEARS OF DUST STAINED THE EDGES. INTERIOR HAS AGE RELATED PAPER TONING. NO WRITING, NO TEARS, NO CREASES. TIGHT AND SQUARE BINDING. SOME FADING/SOILING TO EXPOSED BOARD EDGES. 

- INCLUDES A HAYDEN PLANETARIUM "HALL OF THE SUN" TWO SIDED CARD, THAT IS POST CARD SIZED AND OF THE PERIOD.

THIS IS A VERY TOUGH DUST JACKET TO FIND

PLEASE USE ZOOM FUNCTION ON ALL PHOTOS.

PLEASE NOTE: For book sales, I virtually always include a vinyl bag tightly wrapped on the exterior. This is an attempt to prevent any USPS employee from opening the package for inspection as it would be time consuming for them to repackage it. This is done simply because my packaging is done more carefully than their repackaging and also to protect the book from the elements. The vinyl bag covers cardboard protection and you can simply cut the  bag open (carefully) and remove the contents. The cardboard protection is also typically held with tape and cutting in the obvious places will allow the cardboard to pop right open, exposing the book (in another protective vinyl bag). Using this method, you should be able to open any book I send in under a minute. No "buzz saw" is required.  Thank you
