Clarke, Arthur C (1951) ‘The Sands of Mars’, signed first edition

Arthur C Clarke (1951) ‘The Sands of Mars’. First edition, signed to the title page. Published by Sidgwick & Jackson a year before publication in the US by the Gnome Press.

Condition: very good plus in a very good dust jacket. Little foxing to the endpapers, the pages are clean, but obviously aged at the edges. The boards, which have preserved its beautiful red vibrant colour, are clean and sharp with only the slightest of shelf wear. The razed-thin and fragile dust jacket is NOT clipped and has a little bit of chipping to the edges and a few very tiny holes.

Scarce in such condition, especially signed!
