Description

***** RARE VARIANT BINDING ***** THE MAN WHO SOLD THE MOON, Shasta, 1950, first edition, fine in bright vg/vg+ dust-wrapper with some light wear and tear. The first book of the authors famed FUTURE HISTORY SERIES. This copy is bound with a black cloth spine as is the usual case, but with a tan front and rear panel in cloth as well (as opposed to paper boards). Also, the head and tail bands are striped red & yellow as opposed to black & white. With the release of the new Heinlein biography, Robert A. Heinlein, Volume 2: In Dialogue with His Century: 1948-1988: The Man Who Learned Better, it is apparent that Heinlein did not know of the existence of this issue. When mentioned to the publisher, Mel Korshak, he stated that he was unaware of it also! Only the second copy I've had in more than a dozen years in this format. The title story won the retro HUGO award for best novella of 1951.

About THE FINE BOOKS COMPANY Michigan, United States

Biblio member since 2009
Seller rating: This seller has earned a 5 of 5 Stars rating from Biblio customers.

The Fine Books Company, which began purchasing rare and collectible items in 1976 and selling same in 1979, is located everywhere a computer may be accessed. A 34 year member of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and The International League of Antiquarian Booksellers, we have travelled to, purchased and sold books on, every continent ( save Antarctica as we are unaware of any commercial book activity there).

Although we may be biased towards the fields of creativity, namely all genres of fiction in first edition, we have branched out to include many areas of non-fiction as well so that our stock of over 40,000 items, which includes books, periodicals, letters and manuscripts, is now more balanced than it has ever been before. We issue occasional virtual catalogues (which only reveal a small portion of our newest inventory), quickly reply to all inquiries, do appraisals upon request and somehow have managed to publish 18 books along the way. A "Heritage" member of AbeBooks as well, our specialty is service.
