A Space Odyssey

One of the most culturally significant novels science fiction has produced. The novel was based on the screenplay written by Arthur C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrick, developed concurrently with Kubrick’s landmark 1968 film. Both the American (New American Library) and this British first editions appeared in 1968; the first British printing is considered less common than its American counterpart.
