Philadelphia, PA: John C. Winston, 1953. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Very Good. Very scarce softcover edition of this juvenile science fiction novel from Evan Hunter, under the pseudonym: Richard Marsten. Stated first edition, in stiff wrappers bearing original dust jacket illustration, though 29 titles are listed on the back, so a later state back panel. Probably a military base issue, though has been thought to be a proof. Regardless, this issue is very hard to find. Very good in wraps with considerable rubbing to edges of spine. Laid in is an Evan Hunter signature clipped from a glossy dust jacket flap.

Stated First Edition; a very good copy in a very good dust jacket; book shows some spotting to the boards, some minor rubbing to the spine ends, and a printing error to the last 4 pages of the book (additional paper at end of pages, does not affect text block); the dust jacket is very good with mild rubbing and chipping to the spine ends and edges, a couple of small closed tears, and one small hole at top of front cover. This volume is not ex-lib, not price clipped, and has no other markings. A clean, tight, and bright copy of this novel which is a part of the Winston Science Fiction series.

It turns out the sportsman does has an agenda of his own and has somehow managed to bring his hunting rifles with him so that he can bag a dinosaur "trophy" ( I guess there was no pre-jump government inspection done).… Read More

Philadelphia: The John C. Winston Co., 1953. First Edition . Cloth. Very Good/Good. Octavo. Schomberg, Alex [jacket & endpapers]. Philadelphia: The John C. Winston Co., 1953. First Edition [stated] and first printing. Octavo, olive-green cloth (the green cloth apparently varied a bit in shade with this title), 210 pp.; pictorial jacket, correct with twenty titles on the back. Iconic endpaper designs of course are by Alex Schomburg; in this case, as with several others in the series, Schomburg also executed the memorable dustjacket. Near Fine book, with very little sign of wear anywhere; top page edges a bit darker than bottom edges or fore-edges, as is almost always the case. Not a whole lot of age-toning to the textblock, either. Jacket isn't quite VG, but is NOT price-clipped, still showing the $2.00 price. One notable chip, top front, peripheral wear, rubbing (see scans). Tight, complete, clean and, though somewhat worn, still a solid example of an inexpensively produced,… Read More
