Prima edizione
Soft cover. Condizione: Poor. No Jacket. Cover art by William Timmins for "Clash by Night" (illustratore). 1st Edition. "Bedsheet" (8-3/8 X 11-3/8 inches; 21 X 29 cm.) classic 1940s pulp magazine edited by John W. Campbell, Jr. Includes "Clash by Night" (novelette) by Lawrence O'Donnell (actually Henry Kuttner & C.L. Moore); "The Weapon Makers" (of Isher, second of three parts) by A. E. van Vogt; "Shadow of Life" (novelette) by Clifford D. Simak; "Shock," by Lewis Padgett (again C.L. Moore & Henry Kuttner), and the robot tale "Q.U.R." by H. H. Holmes (William Anthony Parker White, who also wrote as Anthony Boucher.) These classic, 80-year-old pulp magazines present a quandary. Some miraculously preserved copies in "fine" or "near fine" condition -- unlike this one, and now often priced in the $100 range -- do survive. Southern Illinois University even appears to have reprinted one or more as hardcovers in facsimile. But what to do with one of these more typical survivors, "poor to fair," all present, pages readable and only moderately age-toned, but with edges chipping, and with the wraps (glossy covers) and final couple of pages separated? We decline to throw it away, and so it's offered here as a "research or study copy," though we must stress that -- while it's all here -- it has begun to fall apart. Reduced from $12.50.
