John W. Campbell, Jr. Fantasy Press, Inc., New York, 1956.
Description:
Rumored to be only 50 numbered copies of the subscriber's issue, this copy is numbered 65 and signed by Campbell on the special limitation page. As numbers higher than 50 show up, it is my opinion that it remains a very limited number were signed and numbered, probably less than 75. Fine in fine dust jacket with mild fading to the red lettering on the spine panel. A handsome copy.
Genre: Science Fiction
Price $1,200.00
