New York: Canaveral Press, 1964. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Roy G. Krenkel. 8vo., 282(1)pp. Beautiful Stated First Edition of these interconnected stories about Carson on Venus. Bound in blue cloth with titles in black on front board and spine. Mapped end-papers. Square, tight and clean throughout with just a touch of rubbing to spine ends and tips. Very minor. Equally attractive unclipped dust-jacket, ($3.50), is fresh and bright with no chipping, creases, or tears. Uncommonly signed by the artist, Roy G. Krenkel on the title page. A gorgeous, collectible copy and very scarce with Krenkel's signature.
