New York: Gnome Press, 1950. First edition, first printing of this science fiction classic. Bound in publisher's red cloth stamped in black. Near Fine, with faint soiling to front board, faint scratches to rear, former owner bookplate to front pastedown and pages tanned.

A lovely copy, in much nicer condition than normally found.
