New York, New York: Street and Smith Publication, Incorporated, 1945. Cover by William Timmins. Interior illustrations by Kramer, Paul Orban, and Arthur Williams. First Edition, 1st Printing. Pulp Digest. Very Good. Item #482
A very good copy of the Malcolm Jameson memorial Issue published three months after his death. This July 1945 edition is unique in that the cover is not a painting but rather a TIMMINS photo montage of soldiers and asking "Guns or Lives?" The edition features "The Code" by Lawrence O'Donnell, "The Last Outpost" by Ross Rocklynne; "The Lion and the Unicorn" by Lewis Padgett [Henry Kuttner and C. L. Moore]; "Resonance" by Eric Frank Russell; "Disappearance" by Chester S. Geier; "Tight Place" by Murray Leinster, and "The Secret Giant" by Willy Ley. 178 pages. Lower cover corners chipped at the spine. Covers are remarkably well preserved with just a soft crease and a few superficial rubs. Pages lightly toned [Grade B (see grading scale at www.mementomoribooks.com)], clean and unmarked.
