From the back cover -

Earth's greatest adventure had begun. The world was being readied for ... Close Encounters of the Third Kind To Claude LeCombe, director of an international silence group, it meant the culmination of a search that drove him to the globe's farthest corners. To Jillian Guiler, it meant the last shred of hope for the recovery of her little son who disappeared on the most extraordinary night of her life. To Roy Neary, it meant an answer to the startling mystery that had increasingly driven him to the emotional edge. And to the rest of humanity, it meant the beginning of the most dramatic event in the history of the world. It will lead to the inescapable conclusion: WE ARE NOT ALONE

CONDITION:

COVER - There are corner folds and mild edge wear. What appears to be a stain on the bottom right corner (see photo) is actually the inside cover paper turning yellow.

SPINE - There is no crease on the spine. The spine is still tight. Every page is secure.

PAGES - The pages are turning yellow, but are otherwise clean. The page corners have rounded slightly. There are no creases or folds.

This book is used, but it is in sturdy condition. This is an out-of-print title that will make a great addition to any collection!
