 sidgwick & jackson first printing, first h/cvr edition
(lloyd currey notes the text has revisions, but i've not compared this with the galaxy novels edition)

cover (d-j) art by gerard quinn
cover (d-j) price 9/6
176pp. including titles, indicia etc. bound with endpapers between cloth-covered boards

the cover art is of great winged spacecraft waiting for take-off on three-rail trackway at station in desert, with mountains in distance, also three vertical rocket trails. some impracticalities in the scene, including lack of provision of means of getting the spaceship into launch position on the rails; but the spacecraft is seen in flight on the cover of the 1954 pan p/b, so the system evidently worked...
