Default On eBay: From the 1950s...

"The author of this book, a distinguished member of the
Interplanetary Society of England, explains to you the scientific
facts that prove that Saucers have been sighted. In clear and simple
language, he shows his theory of space travel... how man can overcome
gravity to fly through the universe with the greatest of ease... why
American space ship experiments are clumsy and old fashioned compared
to the mechanics of the flying saucer."

I confess to a temptation to bid.

I suspect that the author's name of "Cramp" is fitting, as one will
probably get some from laughing so hard while reading the book.
BTW- that's a cutaway of one of George Adamski's Venusian Scout Saucers
on the cover.
Key to the proper identification of a Venusian Scout Saucer is its
extraordinary resemblance to a vastly scaled-up chicken brooder heater.
Do not confuse it with the Nazi Vril Society "Haunebu" type of saucer,
despite the close external resemblance!:

Being taken on board a Venusian Scout Ship means that you may well enjoy
sex with a beautiful tall blonde Venusian Firewoman and be served
excellent apple pie; being taken on board a Nazi "Haunebu" saucer means
that you may well end up having sex with a 70 year old ex-Hitler Youth
member and spend the rest of your short and miserable life eating
penguin-based "Ersatzenchicken" in the Nazi Antarctic radium mines!
For your own sake- KNOW YOUR SAUCERS!
And remember this handy little mnemonic:
"Hot apple pie- yeah, let's fly; cold Penguin on rye- then we'll die." :-)

The Nazis were right on the edge of deploying their saucer squadrons when
the war ended. They have some of them at Hangar 18 and Area 51

And the book has an introduction by Desmond Leslie... who *also* wrote
the book to which Adamski wrote an appendix, usually thought of as
George Adamski's first book!

I'm just amazed, with this book being published in the 1950s, that we
don't have flying saucers all over the place now.

On Abebooks, I see many low-priced copies by another similar work by the
same author: Piece for a Jig-Saw, in two volumes, the first being UFOs
and Anti-Gravity, the second being The Cosmic Matrix.

Apparently, it also contains the solution to the energy crisis.

Two U.S. bookstores have this book for $15.00, less than the winning
E-bay bid of over $29. So you haven't missed your chance!

The problem was that they could never be converted to unleaded gas. :-)

I've since learned there is a third volume in that work.
