In writing of the author's two collections, this one and A MARTIAN ODYSSEY (1949), Pringle writes: "The author died in 1935, after a writing career of less than two years. Nevertheless as Asimov points out, Weinbaum revolutionized the field of American magazine sf with his humorous, slickly written tales of sympathetic aliens and other interplanetary wonders. Most of these stories still hold up well today: in the 30s they were a revelation." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 36. Currey "A" binding. A fine copy in a just about fine dust price clipped dust jacket with several mild wrinkles to the head of the spine panel. (29337). Item #29337
