Here's a one-of-a-kind item for your Science Fiction collection of 1951 Astounding Magazines.  This is a canvas bound set with a library binding for the entire year of 1951.  Because it was specially bound for the library the magazines were protected and are in excellent condition. There is a library pocket and bar code on the first issue of each volume and library stamps on the top and bottom of the text blocks. This is also the period where Dianetics was being heavily advertised for the first time and five of the back covers have early advertising for diabetics including the 2nd introduction to it (see last photos).
