A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, with a little rubbing to the tail of the spine, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout, and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed, nicked, and creased dustwrapper, which is without fading, loss, or tears. Not price-clipped (£3.75 to the lower front flap).
A science fiction adventure novel. First published in serialised form in 1951 under the title 'Sword of Xota', then as a paperback original in 1953 retitled 'The Warriors of Day', by Galaxy Publishing. This UK publication is the first hardcover edition, and quite scarce.
