1st edition. Comedy novel and a sequel to the author's 1947 novel Whisky Galore. The inhabitants of a remote Scottish island resist a government plan to build a missile base on their home. The author refers to it, in a Author's Note, as a 'bitter farce', as opposed to a 'genial farce' that Whisky Galore was. Pp.246, toned strips to endpapers. Dark pink cloth, dustwrapper (design by Clarke Hutton) has edge tears to top edges and top of spine and small loss to top rear corner tip. VG/G+.** It was filmed in 1958 (with some changes) as "Rockets Galore!" directed by Michael Relph and starring Jeannie Carson, Donald Sinden and Roland Culver.
