Childhood's End by Arthur C Clarke TRUE 1954 First Retail Edition

Description: There were some things that only time could cure. Evil men could be destroyed, but nothing could be done with good men who were deluded. Here we offer the stated first retail edition of the sci-fi classic novel, Childhood's End, by Arthur C. Clarke, published by Sidgwick and Jackson, London, in 1954. The book comes wrapped in a newly-remastered facsimile of its original, first edition dust jacket, that you can only get here, printed on coated heavyweight bond. The polymer coating on the paper ensures the brightest colors and sharpest prints, as the ink sits atop the paper rather than being absorbed into the fibers. Lightly-soiled boards (please see pics.) Intact endpages are uninscribed. Very tight and square binding, very clean, bright, and crisp text. 253 pages, measures approximately 7.75 x 5-inches. Dust jacket comes sleeved in ph-neutral Mylar and ready to slip into your collection.
