Seller's Description:
None. Very Good in Very Good jacket. The first edition of this science fiction novel from Hal Clement, told primarily from an alien perspective. With the charming original dust wrapper. First edition.  The novel was originally serialised in the magazine Astounding in 1951. With the publisher's unclipped dust wrapper.  Iceworld serves as a rare example in science fiction of story telling through the alien's point of view, here in the form of an interplanetary narcotics agent forced to work on (what he deems) an incredibly cold world. The planet is in fact Earth, and he teams up with natives of the alien planet,  humans, in his attempt to stop the smuggling of a dangerous drug (tobacco) to Sirius.  From Hal Clement, an American science fiction writer and a leader of the hard science fiction subgenre. In the original cloth binding. With the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, with dark spots to the boards and slight rubbing and bumping to the extremities. Dust wrapper is chipped to the head and tail of the spine. Spotting to the wrap. Edge wear resulting in a few small open and closed tears to the wrap. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally bright and clean, with scattered spotting to the endpapers. Rubbed reference check-out card tipped-in to the rear free endpaper. Reference ink impressions to the pastedowns and free endpapers. Very Good.
