First edition, advance review copy, of the fourth book in the Time Traders series starring Ross Murdock, with laid in publisher's advance review slip.

"Again, Andre Norton, one of the greats among writers of teen -age science fiction, has employed his boundless imagination to create a story about two Time Agents who are catapulted back 10,000 years in time, on the deserted planet, Hawaika. The eerie adventures of Ross Murdock among three unique prehistoric races end in a horrifying, but fascinating other world battle. The appearance of the Baldies, hairless creatures who claim power by reading men's minds, constitutes an unusual threat to the agents. Owing to the author's exceptional mastery of detail, and astute control of plot, Key Out of Time stands as a novel which should more than satisfy young science fiction fanciers and fanatics" (Kirkus).

Book fine, dust jacket very nearly so.
