Характеристики

Year Printed 1953
Author Arthur C. Clarke
Original/Facsimile Original
Special Attributes 1st Edition, Dust Jacket

I'm back with more from my 46-year accumulation of pulps, books, etc. These are all genuine originals, no reprints or facsimiles.

NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING. I will only ship via Priority Mail, and only to a Paypal-verified address in the United States. Sorry, but I had too many bad experiences with international shipping a couple of years ago.    

PAYMENT BY PAYPAL ONLY. For listings other than Buy-It-Now, your payment is due within 3 days following the end of the auction.

The good news: If you win multiple items and I can ship them all in the same box, I will refund the unused portion of your shipping cost.



Arthur C. Clarke: Expedition to Earth - Ballantine, 1953, first edition in jacket. Here's the scarce hardback first printing of this great Clarke collection, which includes "The Sentinel," the story that became the basis for 2001: A Space Odyssey. Many, many times harder to find than the paperback and rarely ever encountered in this condition.

Condition:

Book: Previous owner's bookplate on the front pastedown, and pages slightly age-toned. Otherwise, the book is practically like new: very clean and crisp, with just slight age-toning of the pages. Apart from the bookplate, no other ownership markings.

Jacket: Light edge wear with a couple of short tears at the top of the rear panel. Some very light surface soiling on the front and rear panels (mostly along the flap folds) and at the tops of the flaps. Corner crease at the bottom of the front flap.



Please e-mail me with any questions about the item before the last day of the auction. I'll do my best to answer them. No questions about what my reserve is or what else I might sell, please.

PAYMENT: Per Ebay's Accepted Payments Policy, please pay by PayPal within 3 days of the auction's end. No exceptions. Payment in U.S. dollars only. I'll ship within three business days (NOT 3 calendar days) after receiving payment by PayPal. Washington State residents please add 8.8% sales tax. If I do not receive payment within 3 days, I reserve the right to cancel your bid and notify Ebay.

PACKING:

Pulps: I bag all pulps with a backer board. For shipping, I'll sandwich the bagged pulp between oversized pieces of cardboard and ship in an envelope or a box, depending on the number of pulps and the total value.

Books: I ship books in boxes, with plenty of padding.

Combinations: I'll figure it out.  

SHIPPING: Shipping is by US Postal Service Priority Mail at the actual rates. I don't charge any additional "handling fees." If I include shipping insurance, it will be at no extra cost to you. Multiple wins usually can be combined to save shipping costs.

REFUNDS: I've been collecting for a very long time and many of you know me, so I doubt you'll be disappointed. I check every page of every item before listing. You won't be surprised by missing pages, clipped coupons, the wrong back cover, etc. However, if the item has significant defects not noted in the description, you may return it for a refund of your original cost. (Sorry, no partial refunds.) To return an item, you must first notify me through Ebay within 7 days of receiving it.
