Here are two super vintage 1960s science fiction books in extremely eye-catching dust wrappers. I'm selling them together as a set of two.

The Quest For the Perfect Planet by WE Johns (best known for his Biggles books), was first published by Hodder in 1961. This copy is a Children's Book Club edition looking exactly as the Hodder edition would have and also from that same year, 1961. In an unclipped wrapper, with a few faint marks to the back. Has a book plate on the front free endpaper and a little ink has transferred to the flap opposite. With black and white illustrations as chapter headers and in the text. With a mild lean.

Space Intruder dates from 1965. Has a name on the front free endpaper but no other writing or markings of previous ownership. Unillustrated. Pages clean and smart. The striking dust wrapper has more wear than the WE Johns above. With edge wear rubbing and creasing and a few tears and creases along the edges and around the spine. Has some small areas of loss at the spine ends. So-with some wear-but remaining a great cover.

Both jackets have now been protected for the future by the addition of archival removable protective plastic sleeves.

Your two 1960s sci-fi hardbacks will be wrapped with care in tissue and ribbon* and sent well packaged. I am always happy to include a gift card with a message.
