First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. Morris Scott Dollens (illustrator). 1st Edition. Glendale, CA: (Science-Fiction Advertiser), 1954. Volume VII, No. 1, the Winter, 1954 (1953-54) issue of Science-Fiction Advertiser; this is the new name and (somewhat) new, longer form of the earlier incarnation, Fantasy Advertiser fanzine. Roy Squires had long since taken over editing from Norman "Gus" Wilmorth by this time, and wasn't far from bringing it into its heyday. Though longer and a bit richer, at this time the fanzine was still focused on book reviews and ads, and apart from Morris Scott Dollens carried little in the way of interior art and virtually no fiction.yet. Even the reviews, essays and articles gave precious little credit to the writers, who were often the editor or his assistants. None of that would last.Cover is by Dollens, and there is a nice repro of a Virgil Finlay piece in a rear cover ad (see scan). Octavo, stapled wraps, 26 numbered pages. Near Fine copy, with only the inevitable modest toning to the paper (see scan). High grade. Very sharp, undamaged copy. An early example of the uniquely American sci-fi / fantasy fanzine genre. One or two interesting articles per issue, and some rare illustrations, but still, to this point in 1954, largely book reviews, ads and a bit of opinion. See scan of contents page for this issue's offerings. Nicely executed book reviews. A classic issue from a fanzine classic from the golden age of sci-fi with all its special genres; replete with the detailed trappings of that world - Science fiction, fantasy and horror, of course. But mostly the sci-fi. Very scarce under this name, the second of three. For the collector. L-pr2.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. 334 pages. Index. Maps. Black and white photographic plates. ". A rare gem. I have been actively hunting for this sort of record and have come to realize just how rare such accounts are. This one also touches all the points an historian would wish to mention, from the attitudes of officers to frustration with the Ross rifle. One can only wonder how the journal survived and how it was composed." - Professor Desmond Morton, from dust jacket. Book clean, bright and unmarked with light wear. Would be graded very good if not for the fact that some rain appears to have fallen upon half-title and title pages (only) resulting in modest undulating. Average wear to dust jacket. A sound copy.
