About This Item
Philadephia: John C. Winston, 1958. Cloth. Near Fine/No Jacket. Octavo. Heugh, James; Schomburg, Alex. Near Fine. See scans and description. Philadelphia: The John C. Winston Company, 1958. Second (1959) Printing of the 1958 First Edition. See copyright page image. Lacking the jacket. Endpaper art by Alex Schomburg. Octavo, 203 pp. Yellow cloth with blue spine lettering and blue rocket ship, emblematic of this famous Winston series, at spine bottom. A Near Fine book, with a faint impression on the rear cover (see scan), standard very modest darkening of top page edges, and no salient flaws whatsoever, cover to cover. One of relatively few book-length titles by the author of "This Island Earth". Scarce first format of a scarce title in a series which was immensely popular in the fifties and appears to be even more so now. If you're here - and you are - you know the Winston series of juvenile sci-fi novels, a 37-title series issued between 1952 and 1961. I still read them from time to time. The Year When Stardust Fell is one of the scarcest. See scans. L17n
