Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. From Photographs and Drawings (illustrator). First Edition. Clarksburg, WV: Saucerian Publications, 1967. First edition. Signed and dated 11/15/73 by Moseley on the ffep, with "Best Wishes", but no recipient's name. Cover design by Gene Duplantier. "Fronticepiece" (sic) of Moseley. Wrappers, quarto, 118 pp. Corners just touched, minor age-toning to the pages, otherwise in great shape for a softcover, Near Fine. Clearly, never read. Really quite a sharp copy, clean, bright. An inexpensive, typed book, but something of a landmark as a collection of contributed articles, by-lined and news-clipped, to Moseley's Saucerian publication. In addition to Moseley himself (several items), contributors include notable on-topic names such as M.K. Jessup [The Antiquity of Civilized Man], Ivan Sanderson [A Reporter's Report], Frank Scully [Scully Breaks A Long Silence], Gray Barker (Why the Bender Book Has Been Delayed {in reference to Albert K. Bender's 'Flying Saucers and the Three Men', about which this book contains another article, below}), and a great deal of others. 46 items in all (in addition to Moseley's intro) include article titles such as "Message From Mars Sent to Earth 50 Years Ago ?" (news item); "The Legends of Mt. Shasta" (Richard Cohen); "Three Men In Black - The Al Bender Story" (Moseley, long before the movie); Humanoids and the Mars Saucer Cycle (Lonzo Dove); and, really, that's barely the start of it. A very collectible signed copy of a classic of the genre. L-g2. Signed and Dated By Author.
