The Black Wheel

Descripción:

----------large hardcover, 8-3/4 inches wide by 11 inches tall, in dust jacket. Chapters 1-7 are by Merritt, while Bok wrote chapters 8-27 following Merritt's death. The book is the first edition, priority B (Currey), with the book title on one line on the front board. A date of 1947 is indicated on the title page, while a 1948 date is indicated on the copyright page. There is NO cancel copyright sticker on the copyright page as is sometimes present. It is stated as Number 325 of 1000 First Edition copies. The book, in black boards with gold lettering to the front, has minor bumps to corners and spine extremities, and is at least VG+. The mylar-protected dust jacket is price-clipped, states the publisher as F.F.F. Publishers on the spine and back panel, and contains an advertisement on the back panel for a book, The Skylark of Space, published by F.F.F. in 1950. Thus, it appears unsold copies of The Black Wheel were re-released in 1950, with a new and different dust jacket, which doesn't mention Bok, who wrote most of the book, at all. The jacket artist is not credited. The now mylar-protected jacket has some edge creasing, has small pieces missing, a back panel stain, and several tears repaired quite well on the jacket back by brown paper tape. It looks quite presentable, and is only fair due to the missing pieces and tear repairs. N° de ref. del artículo 012560
