UP FOR SALE:
TOMORROW, THE STARS : A SCIENCE FICTION ANTHOLOGY. Edited by ROBERT A. HEINLEIN.
[publisher: Doubleday & Company, Garden City] Hardcover, EARLY Printing of the First Edition Octavo, cloth.
Anthology compiled by Judith Merril and Frederik Pohl (not Heinlein, although he received credit as "editor" and was one of the five "editors" [i.e. readers] credited in the preface) collecting fourteen stories by Jack Finney, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. Henry Kuttner, Eric Frank Russell, William Tenn, Isaac Asimov, Fritz Leiber, Judith Merril and others, with preface by Heinlein.
Scarce book. Probably a second printing as the FIRST EDITION statement is NOT present on the title page, but the jacket appears to be identical to the real 1st print dj. No way to confirm printing however, as doubleday had yet to start using their Letter/Number code to clarify year and week of printing in the rear gutter of their books.
This is NOT an
ex-Library or Remainder copy!
A VERY GOOD- book in a VERY GOOD- Jacket. Book has been carefully read. Light soil/fade to cloth binding, normal signs of handling/ shelf wear to edges/tips (see photos). Previous owners cursive name on front pastedown, mostly obscured by the front flap of the DJ when it is on the book, but they're for the picky collector to note. NO OTHER writing, remainders, inscriptions, underlining etc... decent looking book, just not quite crisp enough to grade higher. Dust jacket presents well in Mylar cover, but has typical age toning, soil and chips to edges/folds (see pics). UNCLIPPED dj with 2.95 price intact on the front flap of the dj.
All items are carefully packed in bubble-wrap and placed INSIDE a BOX for shipping.
BIDDERS, PLEASE NOTE: All images taken with a digital camera. I DO NOT use a scanner and any images of interior pages are taken carefully (The book is not flattened down to take images). Also I use a flash so some of the white "Hot" spots on the top and bottom of Books or along folds are caused by the flash and the reflection from the Mylar protector. Please refer to description for confirmation of condition.
