Fine in rubbed else near fine publisher's unprinted acetate dust jacket, lacking the publisher's printed wrap-around band. Inscribed by Kees to Janet and Charles Richards: "To Janet & Charles, Weldon. SF 1954." Kees knew Janet well and she and Pauline Kael were the second and last persons he tried to contact before his 1955 disappearance.
