Original card covers, paper label to upper cover (creases to spine, lightly rubbed). Note: the first paragraph of the promotional label reads: ‘Life on earth has its problems for the twenty-first-century-hero Barney Mayerson- the temperature so high that he cannot go out without his anti-thermal kit; the land from shore to shore solid with housing blocks; the comfort provided by Dr. Smile, the portable plug-in psychiatrist, dubious. But the problems of life on earth are still preferable to the annihilating boredom of the planets, peopled by unwilling drafted colonists who Barney is due to join’.
