Comments & Further Information

This is a first UK edition hardback with a stated first edition.  Comes complete with the publisher’s review slip.

Bumped at head and tail of book spine.  There is some discolouration to the pastedown and the first page where the review slip has been laid in.  Some very light tanning.  The un-priced dust jacket is complete but is showing some signs of wear to the extremities.  It is creased to match the bumps at the head and tail of the book spine.

The first volume in the three-volume History of the Science Fiction Magazine.

SYNOPSIS:  “This first book in the series looks at the exuberant years of the pulp magazines.  It traces growth and development of the science fiction magazines when Hugo Gernsback launched the first, Amazing Stories, in 1926 through to the birth of the atomic age and the death of the pulps in the early 1950s.”
