SIGNED BY ARTHUR C. CLARKE

Arthur C. Clarke: 2001 A Space Odyssey, first editionCLARKE, ARTHUR C.  2001: A Space Odyssey

2001 "poses metaphysical, philosophical and even religious questions... I don't pretend we have the answers. But the questions are certainly worth thinking about. It's about concern with man's hierarchy in the universe, which is pretty low. It's about the reactions of humanity to the discovery of higher intelligence in the universe." -Arthur C. Clarke

FIRST EDITION, SIGNED by Clarke on the title page. Clarke's novel, developed from his short-story The Sentinel (1951), was written simultaneously with the screenplay for Stanley Kubrick's classic film and published shortly after the movie's release.

New York: New American Library, 1968. Octavo, original cloth, original dust jacket. Book fine, bright, clean dust jacket with slight toning at extremities and light wear to spine ends. $1800.
