by Wellman, Manly Wade
- Used
- Hardcover
New York: Avalon Books / Thomas Bouregy and Company, 1961. Blue cloth, lettered in black. Shallow tape offset at forecorners of front pastedown and free endsheet (the consequence of the publisher's ill-advised packaging of their books in Plasti-Kleer jacket covers), otherwise about fine in price-clipped pictorial dust jacket (by Ed Emshwiller) with minor rubbing along the upper flap fold. First edition. An excellent association copy, inscribed by the author to his friend, colleague and future editor and publisher, genre author Karl Edward Wagner: "All the best again to Karl Wagner, and if I'd known you wanted it, I'd have given you one -- from the Gentleman author, Manly Wade Wellman." Wagner published Wellman's WORSE THINGS WAITING (Carcosa Press, 1973) and LONELY VIGILS (Carcosa Press, 1981).
