Arthur C. Clarke - The View From Serendip - 1st UK Edition Hardcover with Author Signature

Published by Gollancz, London, 1978, first printing.

First UK edition of this collection of essays which Clarke himself described as "a first approximation to an autobiography".

A Near Fine copy with a bump to the crown but otherwise a nice, square copy with sharp corners, covers clean and bright. The dustjacket is unclipped, bumped at the crown with some creasing along the top edges.

At the half-title a signature-cut has been neatly pasted in. Provenance for the signature: cut from an extra signing sheet provided for the publisher Ultramarine Press in the late 1980's.
