About This Item
London : Hamilton & Co. (Stafford), [1951]. First edition. Almost the entire issue of the magazine is given over to this full-length story - a novella in the Deegan "Old Growler" series, a rather attractive British precursor of "Star Trek". The final few leaves are given over to a quiz, a short piece on atoms, some science news, and a couple of short reviews (one for Asimov's I, Robot). Crown 8vo (19cm). 110,[ii]pp. Original pictorial stapled wrappers in a design by George Ratcliffe; spine a little worn and discoloured; wrappers rubbed and slightly creased; staples much rusted; text very faintly tanned, but a reasonable copy.
