Comments & Further Information

First UK edition with a full 1 to 10 number sequence indicating a first printing. The pages are heavily tanned but eminently readable. Bumped at head and tail of book spine and at the bottom right hand corner of the front board and bottom left hand corner of rear board. Foxing to page edges not affecting text. The book is in good condition for its age but is looking tired. Price still on dustjacket. “In the quiet seclusion of Pilgrin Valley, a neolithic passage grave is being excavated. Nearby, on Holblack Moor, an observatory is training its telescope upon the giant star, Aldebaran. What is the connection between these two activities, and what effect will it have upon the farmers and villagers who live and work in this territory on the borders of Devon and Dorset?
