CONDITION — PLEASE READ
This is a heavily worn/complete-for-contents copy with the BACK COVER MISSING. The front cover is present but shows substantial wear, creasing, tears and edge damage. The spine/outer edge is also heavily worn, as shown in the photographs.
The back cover is completely absent.
Interior pages are present and remain readable, although there is age-related discoloration, edge wear and other signs of handling consistent with a nearly 70-year-old pulp publication.
Please examine all photographs carefully as they are part of the description. This is being sold AS-IS due to the missing back cover and overall condition.
Despite the condition issues, this is a particularly interesting issue because it contains an early Philip K. Dick story alongside work by several other notable science-fiction writers of the era.
A great addition for a Philip K. Dick collector, vintage science-fiction enthusiast, pulp magazine collector, or fan of 1950s sci-fi cover art.
No restoration or repairs have been attempted.
