BATTLE ON MERCURY.

Lhin, Erik Van (pseudonym of Lester Del Rey).

Philadelphia: The John C. Winston Company, [1953]. Octavo, pictorial wrappers. First edition. Once thought to be an advance issue or uncorrected proof, this paperwraps issue is possibly prepared for use at U.S. Military base libraries or perhaps a simple low cost remainder issue. The book is made up of first edition sheets complete with the illustrated Schomburg end papers enclosed in stiff paper wrappers which has the dust jacket pasted to them. The jacket is a later state jacket with 29 titles listed on the rear panel instead of 15 that are listed on the first. This is an uncommon issue. A good copy in pictorial wrappers. (4988). Item #4988

Price: $75.00
