2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY, by ARTHUR C. CLARKE. This edition with a SPECIAL INTRODUCTION by the Author.

HAND SIGNED by CLARKE on a 3x5 inch label attached to the front pastedown. The signed label is protected, and mostly covered, by the front dj flap.

Hardcover Book in Dustjacket, 5.5x8.5 inches, xviii + 236 pages. The dj retains its original price or $20.01, which is an unusual price until you realize that $20.01 is 2001, which makes it a rather clever price.

Published by New American LIbrary, a division of Penguin Putnam, New York, 1999. First thus edition (first Special Millennial Edition with the new Introduction by Clarke and the new dustjacket art), with the statement "First New American Library Printing, October 1999" and the number line starting at 1. (The first edition of the original publication was in 1968.)

Condition: FINE book, sharp, tight, bright, clean and unmarked, in a FINE dustjacket. A lovely copy that looks and feels unread. The SIGNATURE of Arthur C. Clarke is bright and clear.
