Miller, Eric Frank Russell, Poul Anderson, Frank Robinson, Arthur C. Clarke. Bound in woven blue cloth with titles in gilt on front board and spine. Square and tight with just a touch of wear at the spine ends but quite minor, Mild off-setting to end-papers. Spine gilt slightly dulled. Very attractive unclipped dust-jacket, ($3.50), has a small chip to the crown and some mild wear to edges and tips. Light soiling to rear panel but fresh and bright with no creases or tears. A very pretty collectable copy of one of the more uncommon Gnome Press titles.
