Boston: Little, Brown. NF/NF. 1976. 1st Edition. Hardcover; 1st Printing. 10, 24. 0316208590 . 1st edition/1st printing. Signed and inscribed on the title page by the author: "To (names)...for our friendship, Allan W. Eckert". Lovely near fine book: straight, clean, tight, no previous owner writing in it, with just a short, very narrow and shallow indentation to the front binding cover to keep it from being fine. The dustjacket is price intact, bright, unfaded, crisp and clean, with just a couple of tiny, extremely faint 'ghosts' of spots . Very uncommon signed! This book had a tiny print run of only 3,000 copies, and is extremely rare in collector's condition and even more so signed. This is my personal favorite "what-if" sci-fi story--it's a real thriller! The HAB theory postulates that the earth "flips" when the ice accumulates too heavily at the poles. Has it happened, and could it happen again? ; Signed by Author .
