The Star of Life

The book is in fair condition, typical for a mass-market paperback from 1959. The cover shows signs of wear, including creases and slight edge wear. The spine is intact but shows some creasing. The pages are yellowed with age, and the binding is slightly loose, with visible wear at the spine. There is no dust jacket, as expected for this format.

"The Star of Life" by Edmond Hamilton, published by Fawcett Publications, Inc. in Greenwich, Connecticut, is a 1959 Crest Reprint of this classic science fiction novel. This edition is a mass-market paperback, first issued by Crest Books in October 1959. Known for his contributions to the sci-fi genre, Hamilton crafts a thrilling narrative about the first man in orbit around the moon. This edition is distinct for its vivid cover art typical of mid-20th-century sci-fi publications. While not a first edition of the work overall, it is the first Crest printing, adding a unique collectible aspect. The book is out of print, making this copy a valuable find for collectors and enthusiasts of vintage science fiction. The condition reflects its age, with some wear typical for a book of this format and vintage.
