EARTHBOUND. Philadelphia, Toronto: The John C. Winston Company, [1952]. Octavo, cloth. First edition. A space cadet, the son of one of the first space captains, is forced by circumstances to help interplanetary criminals plunder the very space liners he was trained to protect. Part of the classic Winston science fiction series for young readers published between 1952 and 1961. Some modest insect tracking to cloth, mostly top edge of rear cover, text block age-darkened (less than usual for this book), else a fine copy in very good first printing dust jacket (listing four titles on the rear panel) with light wear at head and tail of spine panel and corner tips, tiny chip from tail of spine panel, and clipped price.
