Whoosh! Inside the Great Glass Elevator, Willy Wonka, Charlie 

Bucket and his family are cruising thousands of feet above the 

chocolate factory. They can see the whole world below them, but 

they are not alone. The American Space Hotel has just been 

launched. Lurking inside are the Vermicious Knids - the most brutal 

beasts in the Universe. Can Charlie and Willy Wonka stop them 

from destroying everything?

The book is free of inscriptions. The top corner of the front end paper

has been roughed up, probably with the removal of an old pencil

price. The pages have slightly tanned, more so the the very edges, 

but are in good condition. The binding remains firm. The top of the

spine is bumped and heavily chipped. There are further chips to 

the base of the spine and edges. The book has laminated pictorial 

boards. The laminated has lifted along the fold on both sides of the 

spine and in a couple of spots to the rear boards. The boards show 

wear in line with the age and type of book. There is no dustjacket.
