WAR WITH THE NEWTS by Karel Capek                                    Bantam Books, 1st Paperback Printing, 1955                              Condition: Very Good Minus                                                                                                                                                              A classic prophetic novel, first pubished in 1937 -- not pulp fiction but more on the level of BRAVE NEW WORLD or ANIMAL FARM.  Capek is also the author of "R.U.R.", credited as being the first modern robot story.  The lower front section of the book has moisture curling and part of the front cover has a somewhat rough feel.  There is also some spine end/edge wear and light edge/corner wear, plus a slight spine lean and page toning.  Else, a solid copy with secure binding, no other interior wear and no markings.
