No dustjacket. Ex-library copy, not a book club edition. I believe the book was re-bound by the library in red boards with white lettering; this is, I don't think these are the original boards. Binding is tight and unbroken, pages are crisp. Has one page of handwritten notes. Contains 17 stories by 16 white guys (one white guy has two stories here). It's actually a really strong anthology for anyone interested in very sciency and old-fashioned science fiction. ix Introduction (Where Do We Go from Here?)
