No collection of Arthur C. Clarke books is complete without this one. Please see the scan for the artwork on the cover and so you can judge the condition for yourself (unlike many other booksellers, who post generic scans, the book in my scan is the one you will get). You can try to buy this book for less money from one of those eBay booksellers with hundreds, if not, thousands of negatives (you know the ones I refer to) and be lucky if the book is delivered in the stated condition (if you even get it at all), or you can buy it from me and be assured of a prompt delivery and receiving an item true to the stated condition. You won't be disappointed. All previous buyers of my science fiction books have been completely satisfied. I have many others available; please check my listings. The book will be sent via Media mail in the USA to minimize shipping costs. I will combine shipping to reduce charges for multiple items. If you purchase more than one item, please request an invoice with the appropriate combined shipping discount.
