Sobre este item
Philadephia: John C. Winston, 1958. First Edition . Cloth. Very Good/Very Good. Octavo. Heugh, James; Schomburg, Alex. Philadelphia: The John C. Winston Company, 1958. First Edition [stated] in First State dustjacket with 29 titles. Jacket Design by James Heugh; endpaper art by Alex Schomburg. Octavo, 203 pp. Yellow cloth with blue spine lettering and blue rocket ship, emblematic of this famous Winston series, at spine bottom. Very Good book in Very Good Jacket. Book shows previous owner's Christmas inscription on flyleaf, small-scale occasional peripheral soil; less age toning than is usual with this book; better than very good. Decently preserved VG First-state jacket shows some rubbing (see scan) and small wear at edges and spine bottom, and the price corner is clipped, though note: almost all jackets in this Winston series had bias cut flaps, and of this particular title I have not yet seen a priced flap; there may not have been one. One of relatively few book-length titles by the author of "This Island Earth". Scarce first edition of a scarce title in a series which was immensely popular in the fifties and appears to be even more so now. If you're here - and you are - you know the Winston series of juvenile sci-fi novels, a 37-title series issued between 1952 and 1961. I still read them from time to time. The first editions are not common, and The Year When Stardust Fell is one of the scarcest. L100
