2001: A Space Odyssey
By Arthur C. Clarke
First UK edition, first impression. Published shortly after the iconic Stanley Kubrick 1968 film adaptation whose screenplay was co-written by Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke.
Publisher’s original black cloth with silver lettering to spine. A fine book with a small Foyles bookseller label to bottom corner of front paste-down, in a near fine dust jacket with just a small mark to upper panel, a couple of isolated spots to verso and a little mild rubbing to corners. An excellent copy of a science fiction highlight.
