Tanned pages, some wear to cover edges, spine creasing, rubbed hinges, some spine curl, some age browning to back cover, some marks to pages and cover.


Published by Atlas Publishing, August 1956. Reprint of the March 1956 US edition. Unlike earlier British editions (up to October 1953), this appears to be a complete reprint of the original magazine (details can be found at isfdb.org).

This issue is notable for carrying part 2 of the first publication in serial form of Double Star, by Robert A. Heinlein (the hardback 1st edition appeared the same year, but the serial likely preceded it, at least in the US printing).

Cover art by Ed Emshwiller, internal illustrations by Ed Emshwiller, Frank Kelly Freas, H.R. van Dongen.
