I will ship this book in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure it reaches its new owner in the same condition as my description. Its dust jacket, now protected by a removable mylar cover, is in very good condition: whole, bright, and unmarked, with a 1/2' closed tear in bottom edge of its back, wear spots in the bottom inch of its back flap fold and back spine fold, plus a tiny bit of wear on other ends of flap folds. Other names proposed for it and rejected include Einstein, Starstruck VI, Pioneer, and Thor. It was destroyed by a Nazi ship after they landed on the moon. Covers and pages are otherwise unworn and unmarked. Name of the moon rocket built by Donald Cargraves with the help of Art Mueller, Ross Jenkins, and Morrie Abrams. Its binding is sound, with no spine crease.

The book is in good+ condition, marred only by (1) three neatly blacked-out small library stamps (on top of its text block, on its front end-paper, and on its title page), (2) faint tape ghosts on top and bottom of its covers and end papers, (3) neatly handwritten 'F' and 'Hei' in white ink on its spine, (4) some light soiling on edges of its text block, (5) wear on cover edges (heaviest on bottom), and (6) a little spine lean. The covers are 'REINFORCED BINDING' per jacket's front flap, which also has the publisher's original '$5.95' price. Robert Heinlein wrote Rocket Ship Galileo in 1947 but it remains a good fast read to this day. Picture-board hardcovers with dust jacket. Three high school students join forces with an older nuclear physicist to develop their own atomic rocket, solve their own space problems and blast off for the moon in spite of a series of mysterious setbacks. 'N-10.70' on its copyright page, so an October 1970 14th printing of the original Scribner edition. This is an ex-library book that you will be proud to shelve with your Heinlein collection.
