Hunting, Gardner
The Vicarion (First Edition, Andrew J. Offutt's copy)
Kansas City, MO: Unity Press, 1927. First Edition, 1926 stated on copyright, hardcover octavo lacking original dust jacket. From the estate of Andrew J. Offutt, with his rubber-stamp and name and date (1953) in ink on the front endpaper. Offutt was an avid science fiction author noted for "Conan"-themed fantasies, debuted as a published writer in 1951, and wrote 100s of erotic novels pseudonymously as John Cleve, Turk Winter, John Denis, Jeff Moorehead, Opal Andrews, among others. The "Spaceways" series is perhaps his ultimate collaboration between science fiction and erotica. Most institutions without personal material. Hunting was primarily a screenwriter, with over 30 silent films to his credit, and several articles for Unity Press, a religion imprint. This novel seemingly post-apocalyptic, mysterious theaters, one being the Vicarion. Very Good; lean, rubbing, brief stains, spine toned, corner bumps and light fray. [Book ID 126754]
