THE MAKESHIFT ROCKET

First UK edition, first printing and first hardcover edition. Publisher's original brown cloth with silver titles to the spine, in the Richard Weaver illustrated dustwrapper. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, the spine a little darkened and rubbed at the tips, with mild toning and spotting to the top and fore-edges of the text block. The contents, with a touch of offsetting and spotting to the front free endpaper, are otherwise clean and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed dustwrapper, which has been clipped and re-priced by the publisher to the front flap.

A wacky science fiction novella about a man who escapes his captors in a spaceship made out of beer kegs.
