Heinlein, Robert A.: Citizen of the Galaxy ** Hugo Author ** HB/DJ 1st/1st

Description: Heinlein, Robert A.: Citizen of the Galaxy ** Hugo Author ** HB/DJ 1st/1st Publisher: Gnome Press, 1949 This is a true first printing with the publishers "A" printed on the copyright page. This important work was first serialized in Astounding Magazine (9/57-12/57). This story exemplifies Heinleins knack for creating sociologically plausible cultures which were able to reach a younger audience. The book was Illustrated (jacket and title page) by Leonard Everett Fisher. This is a very pretty copy, VG+/Near Fine-. The boards have good consistent coloring. There is a small faint ring on the front cover; The book shows minor shelf wear and handling. (see scan). This clipped jacket is just VG. There is some scuffing on the spine as well as the front and back. There is a very small hole on the spine (see scan). This is not a book club jacket; the lower corner is intact. The book has 4 square corners. There is no writing or marks in the book.This is not a remainder, book club or ex-library copy. The binding is straight and tight. Please note: The picture(s) are of the actual item for sale. (Pictures are NOT stock photos.) If the book has a dust jacket: (1) The dust jacket is protected in a Brodart to ensure that it remains in the best possible condition. (2) The Brodarted dust jacket is not taped to the book. (3) When we take a picture of a book (or make a scan), it may cause a glare on the plastic of the Brodart. This is not a defect in the book or jacket; it is just a reflection off the Brodart. Free media rate shipping and insurance to the U.S.; international shipping available. DEFINITIONS “First” thus refers to the first printing of a new edition of a book. TPB refers to a trade paperback edition. Trade paperbacks are oversized paperback editions. PBO (Paperback Original) means this is a first edition/first printing paperback, which is also the first time this book was published (the true first edition of this book). ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) means this was a limited edition paperback (usually paperback) copy of a soon to be released hard back book. BOOK GRADING GUIDE Because hobbies have different words for describing conditions, Id like to tell you how I grade the collectibles I sell. Books are graded with the ABA standard in mind. That means books range from G (good) to Fine. I dont use a VFN or any form of Mint to describe a book. A book that is NF (near fine) can also be thought of as almost new. A full list of typical conditions ranges from: G, VG, VG+, VG+/NF, NF, to FN
