Magazine / Periodical
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. "Volume 9, No. 2". Features classic Emshwiller cover art. This copy appears unread, and is in very good+ condition, marred only by wear at top and bottom of the spine, traces of edge wear, and age-toning to the cover and pages. Its binding is tight and square, with no reading creases in the spine or hinges. The cover and pages are unmarked, and otherwise unworn. This magazine features an interesting milestone in SF history. 1955 is the year that Henry Kuttner and Catherine Moore stopped using pseudonyms, and released their openly co-authored collection "No Boundaries". The credits in that collection say their novelet 'Two-Handed Engine' "appeared" (past tense) in F&SF. All the other previously-published stories in that collection were under pseudonyms. Anthony Boucher's intro to the novelet in this magazine says it's "their first non-pseudonymous appearance in F&SF". So the cover of this magazine could be the first appearance of the by-line "Henry Kuttner and C. L. Moore". If you're a fan of Kuttner & Moore's body of work, this magazine deserves a place in your library. As with all Space Age Book purchases, I will ship this magazine in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure it reaches its proud new owner in the same condition as my description.
