Re: The Exploration of Space - what does the first edition look like?

The layout of the Harper one is identical except for the color
of the cover (medium blue), and that the index is on 197-199,
with page 196 blank. No mention of a 1951 reprint is made.
There are a total of ten blank pages after the index.

This is the Book of the Month club edition. I presume you don't have
the dustjacket. You can tell without the jacket by looking at the
rear cover, right at the bottom, on the dark blue spine section,
right next to the hinge. You'll find the tell tale BOMC 1/16" dimple.
