N.Y.: Pyramid X-1890, 1968. This book is in very nice, tight shape. There are no cracks in the glue and the spine has no reader's creases. There is a printers crease along the bottom third of the spine. No marks, no writing on the interior pages, no store stamps and no price tags. That being said...here is what is wrong with it. there is chipping along the spine edge of the front and back covers. There is a chip on the top spine corner of the front cover. There is minor chipping along the outside edges of the book. There is an "almost" fold/crease about a half an inch long on the top edge of the front cover and both front outer corners have small creases and slight rounding. The bottom front and back covers both have tiny little tears but the pieces are still there. The back cover has a chip on the spine edge of the book and a very tiny rip starting to the top edge of the cover. The pages are, of course, starting to brown with age. Frankly I have made the book sound worse than it is but I would rather you know what it looks like and be pleasantly surprised than disappointed.. First Paperback Edition.

New York, NY, U.S.A.: Ballantine Books, 1996. From the back cover: "the invasion was quick and merciless. Nothing on earth could counter the superior technology of the inter-planetary aggressors. Their first strike left worldwide defences utterly useless..."From the jacket: "In 1962, at the height of the cold war, the Brooklyn based Topps Chewing Gum Company released a set of trading cards that combined a classic, H.G. Wells - style alien invasion with the graphic atrocities of war. The result was the legendary Mars Attacks cards, and the reaction was swift: national uproar. Deemed too gruesome for innocent young minds, the cards were quickly supressed. But even as they disappeared from the market, their cult status grew...finally in 1995, Topps rereleased the set, adding new - and equally gruesome - cards.

Canada: Gold Medal, 1951. If you are a collector this is only good as a "fill in" copy until you get a high grade copy. It is very fragile and every time you open the book the glue splits a little more. All the pages are still attached but if you intend to read the book I would suspect that you will be detaching the pages as you go. The cover is the most attractive thing about the book and there are plenty of chips along the edges and reading creases near the spine.

Toronto, Canada: Collins White Circle 264, 1946. At first glance it looks pretty nice, but it has some major flaws.. Structurally it's fine- The binding is tight, book is square, and guts are browned but supple. Some dog-earing and creasing, but nothing serious Unfortunately, there are some white blotch-stains at the bottom of the front cover, and the spine, which is otherwise only lightly creased, is frayed at the bottom and the binding is starting to show through. No better than a Good+, but a tough enough find in any shape. Collins White Circle was a Canadian publisher which released more than 500 titles between the late 40's & early 50's. Contemporaries of Harlequin, another Canadian company, they're very similar in appearance to Harlequins, and shared the same production quality, which is to say, poor. They used low quality pulp stock paper, and the guts were poorly held in place due to weak binding glue, making higher-grade copies difficult to come by.. First Thus. Mass Market Paperback.

Canada: Daw, 1979. This is a lovely, unread book. The spine is square and the whole book is in lovely shape. The only flaw is on the front cover. If you wiggle it around under the light you can see a "bubble" between the dragon's nose and his ear flap. But you really have to look for the flaw. The book is Daw #353. First Printing.
