Childhood's End
New York: Ballantine Books, 1953. First edition. Cloth. First edition of one of Clarke's best known works. A Pringle 100 selection. Presaging themes the author would explore in greater detail in 2001 A Space Odyssey. Red cloth binding is lightly shelfworn with minor wear to base of spine. Pages are clean and unmarked. The price-intact ($2.00) dustwrapper shows some typical light fade to spine colors and has one small circular chip at spine crown (not affecting any text). Verso of jacket shows some areas of soiling that can faintly be seen at rear panel. Overall, a handsome copy of one of the truly great science fiction novels from the golden age. Very Good / very good. Item #21913
