Description: Vintage hardcover (book club) edition of They Walked Like Men, by Clifford D. Simak (Doubleday, 1962). A science fiction classic, They Walked Like Men is the story of Peter Graves, a newspaper man who meets a talking dog and learns that all of the real estate on Earth is being slowly bought up by aliens who resemble bowling balls. The premise sounds ridiculous, but Simak uses these campy science fiction devices to create a biting social satire on the problems of urban sprawl and the development of the suburbs in post-WWII America. An enjoyable and penetrating book! This book is in excellent condition, with an intact dustcover and no rips, tears, marks, or other major signs of wear.
