I have no idea. I have a copy, too, but I've seen it here
and there in the used book stores, so it never struck me
as being particularly rare. Actually, the "rarest" Robinson
(in the sense that few people know of it) I know of is the
1978 Ace edition of Philip Nowlan's ARMAGEDDON 2419 A.D.
(the original Buck Rogers novel). For that edition (prompted
by the movie/tv show, no doubt), Ace had Spider re-write the
book with a more modern tone. Credit *is* given in the book,
so this isn't just rumor or speculation.
	Now I've just given Robinson completists something
to look for. :-)
