Haven't you noticed, on the part of nearly everyone you know, a growing rebellion against the present?
There is a craving in the world like a thirst, a terrible mass pressure against the barriers of time.
I am utterly convinced that this terrible mass pressure of millions of minds is already, slightly but definitely, affecting time itself.
In the moments when this happens--when the almost universal longing to escape is greatest--my incidents occur. Man is disturbing the clock of time, and I am afraid it will break.
Here we offer the stated first UK retail edition of the fantastic short story collection, The Clock of Time, by Jack Finney, published in 1958 by Eyre and Spottiswoode, London. This mostly time-travel-themed collection features, notably, the classic story, "Of Missing Persons." The book comes complete with its first edition dust jacket with retail price intact.Very nice boards (please see pics). Intact endpapers are uninscribed. Binding is very tight and square; text is very clean, bright, and crisp. 189 pages, approximately 7.5 x 5-inches. The lightly-worn dust jacket is sleeved in ph-neutral Mylar and ready to slip into your collection.
This classic first will make a wonderful addition to your collection or a very special gift.
