THE CHRYSALIDS

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original black cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in the Wildsmith designed dustwrapper. A very good copy, the binding square and firm with some bumping at the spine tips. The contents, with a previous owner's inscription on the front endpaper and a single foxing spot to the lower edge of the prelims, are otherwise clean throughout. Complete with the rubbed and nicked, price-clipped dustwrapper that is a little darkened and spotted to the rear panel and is otherwise without loss or tears.

Published in the US earlier in the same year with a few textual differences under the title 'Re-Birth'.
