TUNNEL IN THE SKY. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, [1955]. Octavo, cloth. First edition. "Trainee space colonists are dumped via matter-transmitter on a hostile planet where they have to survive by their wits. It is intended to be a ten-day exercise but it stretches into a two-year ordeal when plans go wrong. A rather harsh Heinlein 'juvenile' which extols the boy-scout virtues." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), pp. 388-9. Anatomy of Wonder (1995) 5-65. A fine copy in fine first state dust jacket ($2.50 printed price on front flap) with very light rubbing to spine ends and corner tips. A sharp copy. (#155355).
