About this copy
This is a 1988 edition, one of three 1988 reprints within the first-edition year. Hawking's landmark popular science work, translated from dense theoretical physics into clear, accessible prose that brought cosmology and black holes to mainstream readers. Hardcover with original dust jacket.
Price intact (£14.95 net / AUS $29.95).
Condition
