New York: Gnome Press, Inc., Publishers, [1953]. First edition. A little of the usual age toning to the text paper, some rubbing to spine ends and lower board edges, a very good to nearly fine copy in a very good dust jacket light shelf wear to the head of the spine panel with several tiny tears, tiny tear and crease to upper right front panel and mild shelf wear to the corner tips, several closed tears to upper rear panel. (22946). Octavo, boards. Collects three Jirel of Joiry and four Northwest Smith stories. Jirel of Joiry introduces a female lead character into the Sword and Sorcery sub-genre. The Northwest Smith are science fiction stories set in the future, Smith is a space pilot and a oft time smuggler. All the stories here were first published in Weird Tales magazine. Concerning the Jirel stories, Schlobin in The Literature of Fantasy (p. 179) writes "Jirel's admirable courage in the face of horror and helplessness make her an exciting and dynamic figure, and Moore's descriptions, settings and dark devices are striking and original."
