Islands in the Sky
New York: New American Library, 1960. Fifth Printing.
The bindings are tight and square. Text clean, light even toning. Moderate shelf handling wear with a slight lean. Used book store stamp inside and on the bottom edge.
One of the author's earliest works, Clarke wrote the story as a travelogue of human settlement of cislunar space in the last half of the twenty-first century. This is one of the thirty-five juvenile novels that make up the Winston Science Fiction series that was published in the 1950s for a readership of teenagers.
It is written with Arthur C. Clarke's obvious knowledge of science, but moves at a page turning rate througout the entire narrative. The short novel gives a realistic possiblilty of work and play in future space, hightened with constant excitment and action.
