Far-out syfy “The Girl From Tomorrow” vintage paperback [1965] Appears unread.
Original price was: $28.00.$22.68Current price is: $22.68.
This is a "near fine" vintage paperback published in Great Britain in 1966 by Badger Books. Edition is not indicated. This book is "as new" having no signs it has ever been read. There is a mild crimp in the front cover upper corner, and when held up to the light the right way, there is linear impression from top edge to bottom on the front cover that looks to be the result of having been banded. Perhaps the book was bundled with a number of copies to be shipped from the publisher and this one was the top books [?]. Not horrible, but it is there, so I mention it. See accompanying images and video for full condition details. Will ship promptly, carefully packaged, insured.
