DANGER: DINOSAURS!
Philadelphia, Toronto: The John C. Winston Company, [1953]. Octavo, stiff pictorial wrappers. First edition, later issue. A small scientific expedition travels back in time to the Jurassic period where they are stranded and menaced giant reptiles. Part of the classic Winston science fiction series for young readers published between 1952 and 1961. These later issues are often called in error advance copies. This has the "first edition" statement on the copyright page, but is bound in a later printing dust jacket (listing 29 volumes in the series on the rear panel, rather than the 20 listed on first printing jackets for this title) which is adhered to unprinted stiff white wrappers. Rubbing at lower front spine edge, bottom edge and lower right front corner, some pealing to the laminate, a nearly fine copy, unread. (33409). Item #33409
