Staple. Condition: Good. No Jacket. First Edition. I believe this is the first issue due to the fact that it is on poor quality paper and crude type. Both conditions Gray Barker stated he fixed in the second edition. Also, this has a receipt date of July 6, 1966 by the former owner and stated received from Gray Barker. My second issue has the same owners date of October 1966. The rear page of this has some bleeding of some other piece of printed matter. Some wrinkling. Perhaps the most interesting part of this small publication is the list of books "These out of print rare books now at last available" and "Rare back issues of "The Saucerian" and Saucerian Bulletin still available" and " Latest list of flying saucer book in stock her at saucerian publications" This makes a nice list of UFO material.
