Souvenir typescript of the beginning of 2061 Odyssey Three, one page, 8.5 x 11. In part: “Dr. Heywood Floyd stared thoughtfully at the ever-changing panorama of the beautiful planet, only six thousand kilometers away, on which he could never walk again. It was even more ironic that, through the most stupid accident of his life, he was still in excellent health when virtually all his old friends were dead.” Signed at the bottom in black ink by Clarke. In fine condition. RRAuction COA.
