Clarke, Arthur C. Childhood's End
U.S. Ballantine Books, Inc. 1953 #33. First Ballantine Book Edition Mass Market Paperback. Fine Plus.
U.S. #33. $.35 is the original price. Tight binding. Darker beige paper. 216 pages which also includes a lengthy Biography of the Arthur plus a page of advertising.
Front Cover: A few bits of very light edge wear, here-and-there, but it's very little. There's a ¼" bent corner at the top, right, plus 4-5 small (¼") light indents close to it.
Spine: A few bits of light edge wear, here-and-there, mostly at the left and right edges. Very little.
Back Cover: A few bits of light edge wear, here-and-there and a ¼" creased corner at the top, left.
In General:The pages have a ¼" bend at the top, right corner from the way the book was packed in the box. The paper doesn't seem to have stood the test of Time as well as some of the other paperbacks possibly because this paper seems to be a slight bit coarser/ thicker. Hard to say. The glue is showing its age at the beginning and end of the book with the little sounds it makes when opening the book but I sometimes sound the same way with age.
Story: Aliens come to help Humanity but when things start to happen, later, they say that it's the first step in getting rid of Humans. The book is considered a Classic sf. story. 003426

Spine: An irregular tear extends all the way.
Back Cover: A piece of the Cover is covered by paper from another book There are a number of extremely fine white dots left from paper from the other book. Light scraping removes some of them.

Story: Clarke starts the book by including how he originally wrote his story, 2001, 4 years prior to its publication. There are also quite a few of his short stories. As usual, what he writes is very interesting. I recommend him. If you ever get a chance to see his old T.V. series about mysteries be sure to watch them. He was a very erudite person. 000933
