Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Evanston, IL: Clark Publishing Company, 1953. The December, 1953 issue of Fate Magazine (issue no.45) in Raymond A. Palmer's now-legendary paranormal-reporting non-fiction enterprise, which began with, in its first issue, Kenneth Arnold's cover account of flying crescents which "skipped like saucers across a pond", an event which, for whatever reason, kicked off the modern era of UFO events. After that, Fate introduced countless events which remain, to this day, fodder for paranormal documentaries and investigation. 12mo, illustrated perfect-bound wraps, 130 pp. A Near Fine copy - very near fine - with almost nothing to point to; micro-touching at spine and a touch of fade at left side of front cover (scan). As always in 50s pulps, some modest age-toning to the newsprint paper pages, which remain fully supple. See scans.
