1966024218New York: Doubleday 1966. First Edition stated . Blue Cloth. Fine/Fine. 190 Pp. Stated First Edition Code H-1 On P. 190. First Printing. Expanded Into A Novel By Van Vogt From A Short Story Officially But Highly Unlikely By His Wife E Mayne Hull. Trace Of Rubbing At Corners Of Book. Doubly Inscribed To A Long-Time Sf Fan By The Authors "For ----------- And --------------- With My Very Best Wishes - All The Luck And Good Fortune In The World Particularly Right Now - Van" And "I Add My Good Wishes To Van's - Affectionately Mayne". Dj Unworn Not Price-Clipped Fine. Van Vogt's Explanation Of Their Collaboration Was That She Had Written A Short Story Which He Greatly Expanded; Van Vogt Later Told His Second Wife That All Of Mayne's Work Was His Own; He Pasted Labels In His Own Copies Of Their Books To That Effect; And Said That He Wrote Under Her Name Only Because Astounding Had A Policy Of Publishing Only One Story By An Author In A Single Issue And He Got Around That By Using Her Name For A Second Story In The Same Issue. This Is All Murky; Friends Have Indicated That Mayne Had No Interest In Sf But It Is Not Implausible That She Would Be Writing During Van Vogt's Years Of Great Success Starting In The Mid 1940'S Given Her Education Background And Personality. . <br/> <br/> Doubleday hardcover
