Paris, Ancienne Librairie Furne, nd. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A good copy only. Possibly first edition, but perhaps later as the publisher is listed solely as Librairie Furne, whereas other copies include Jouvet amongst the publishers."Humorous interplanetary science-fantasy - by balloon to a moon inhabited by weird generously fanged creatures, such as giant mussels in which are domiciled fearsome green creatures, and giant spiders. The two travellers eventually encounter humanoid single-eyed Lunarians with peculiar helmets and whose army is capable of personal, winged flight. They then mount giant bats which take them across space via a comet to a Saturn inhabited by insects who sport curly hair-dos and smoke pipes, and by cherubic humanoids with butterfly wings." [Spectrum, III:80]. Binding worn, with the upper board almost detached, holding by a section in the centre. Edges rubbed. First and last few leaves creased vertically from incorrect storage, but largely bright and clean. [11893, Hyraxia Books].
