The Runaway Robot

This is a smaller than trade sized paperback book with illustrated covers and a glued spine. The book is in Very Good condition and was issued thus without a dust jacket. The spine ends and corners of the book covers have some light bumping and rubbing. There is a tiny tear to the bottom rear spine joint. The text pages are clean, but there is some light generalized toning throughout. "Del Rey first started publishing stories in pulp magazines in the late 1930s, at the dawn of the so-called Golden Age of Science Fiction. He was associated with the most prestigious science fiction magazine of the era, Astounding Science Fiction, from the time its editor John W. Campbell published his first short story in the April 1938 issue: "The Faithful", already under the name Lester del Rey. The December 1938 issue featured his story "Helen O'Loy" which was selected for the prestigious anthology The Science Fiction Hall of Fame. By the end of 1939 he had also placed stories in Weird Tales (edited by Farnsworth Wright) and Unknown (Campbell) , which featured more horror and more fantasy respectively.
