About This Item
New York, NY: Signet, 1972. 1st. Mass market paperback. Very Good. 1st edition, 4th printing. Very Good condition. This is the third book in the young-reader SF series Isaac Asimov wrote under the pen-name of Paul French. The science is severely outdated, but the spirit of a rousing adventure story is still present.
This is a Very Good condition copy of the 4th printing of this 1972 paperback edition from Signet. It has clearly been read, but the spine is not creased, though it is slightly canted and has slight discoloration. There is slight edge wear at the bottom of the front cover, but the covers are otherwise in very good shape. The pages show coloring from age, but are tight and clean.

Synopsis
Lucky Starr and the Oceans of Venus is the third novel in the Lucky Starr series, six juvenile science fiction novels by Isaac Asimov that originally appeared under the pseudonym Paul French. The novel was first published by Doubleday & Company in 1954. Since 1972, reprints have included a foreword by Asimov explaining that advancing knowledge of conditions on Venus have rendered the novel's descriptions of that world inaccurate.
