Sobre este artículo
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1947. First edition. Cloth. Very Good. 8.5" by 6". Thomas W Voter. Robert A Heinlein's first novel. 'Rocket Ship Galileo' is one of Heinlein's 'juvenile' series novels. This is his first ever publication, which was initially rejected by publishers as the idea of people travelling to the moon was too unrealistic. This novel follows three teenagers who participate in a pioneering flight to the moon. First edition of this work, with the 'A' to the edition page as well as Scribner's pictorial colophon to the tail of the page. Lacking original dustwrapper, held in a facsimile dustwrapper. Heinlein was a popular science fiction writer. His career spanned almost fifty years. In a full cloth binding with a facsimile dustwrapper. Externally, very smart. Bumping to the extremities and to the head and tail of spine. Patches of rubbing to the joints as well as to the head and tail of spine. Rear hinge is slightly strained but firm. Small light tidemarks to the head of front endpaper and pastedown. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are slightly age toned due to paper used and clean throughout. Very Good
