Battlestar Galactica Novelization by Glen A. Larson and Robert Thurston

This is a vintage science fiction mass-market paperback book titled 'Battlestar Galactica', co-authored by Glen A. Larson and Robert Thurston. The book features a blue-grey pebbled or textured-pattern cover spine with striking orange-gold metallic or foil-stamped lettering. The spine displays the main title in a bold, stylized sans-serif font, followed by the author names 'GLEN A. LARSON AND ROBERT THURSTON' and the publisher logo 'BERKLEY' at the base. Physically, the item shows signs of moderate wear consistent with its age, likely originating from the late 1970s following the release of the original television series. Condition issues include significant shelf wear, particularly visible as white scuffing or color loss along the top and bottom spine edges and the joints. There is noticeable compression and softening at the head and tail of the spine. The blue color has a slightly mottled, faded appearance, and there is a visible surface crease running vertically near the base. The quality is typical of a standard production commercial paperback from the 1970s sci-fi era, intended for mass consumption but surviving here as a nostalgic collectible from the franchise's inception.
