Edited by Raymond J. Healy and J. Francis McComas.

New York: Random House, (1946).

First edition: very scarce first binding (8 5/16"): correct first state dust jacket.

From the ISFDB:

• The first edition book was issued in two dust jacket states. The first state jacket had two mistakes: the painted subtitle on the front begins "36 Non-Fiction Stories of the Future ...", and the printed blurb on front flap begins, "A collection of thirty-four stories, ....". It appears this flawed first state jacket was withdrawn quickly since it is very scarce. The more common second state jacket corrects both mistakes: the first line of the subtitle on jacket has been re-painted to say "35 Science-Fiction Stories of the Future ...", and the printed blurb on jacket flap now begins, "A collection of thirty-five stories, ....". A careful comparison of books with both states showed no other differences in jacket or book.

Light tan cloth embossed in blue and gilt on front and spine.

Ownership signature to the front endpaper, tiny bits of rust specking to the lower front and rear cover, else very good plus; in a worn and age-toned dust jacket that is good only with internal yellowed tape repairing to the the upper and lower extremities.
Front flap price of $2.95.

Jacket design by George Salter.

A collection of thirty-five stories and novelettes including "By His Bootstraps" a classic time-travel tale by Robert A. Heinlein writing under the pseudonym of Anson MacDonald.

Other contributors include Fredric Brown, Raymond F. Jones, Alfred Bester, Isaac Asimov, Van Vogt, de Camp, Lewis Padgett, Lester Del Rey, and others.

Thick octavo; 997 pages.

All original hardcover printings of the Random House edition are now quite SCARCE (even more so in the correct first state).

We have placed a new clear Brodart sleeve on the jacket.
