Staplebound pamphlet, 32 pages, written as ".a birthday card to Hugo Gernsback on the occasion of his 75th birthday," per the introduction. As one would expect, it's a hagiographic introduction to the influential editor. Cover is yellowed and a little stained, with the lower front and back corners missing. The interior is creased throughout in the same place. (A-2).
