I do not profit on shipping, and in most cases, the amount charged is less than I actually pay. I pack securely, well protected and with care. If you choose PRIORITY MAIL, should there be any excess overage $ after shipping, I'll send back a partial refund. I have a very large collection of books spanning many topics. A massive gathering of Philip K Dick titles and editions, as well as fine press, signed limited editions, modern firsts, radical movement and conceptual art items. I encourage you to browse my store and categories for a wide range of unique, quality offerings. This is a large anniversary issue, carrying many classic stories and illustrations. This issue includes a portfolio of Frank R. Paul illustrating works by HG Wells, showing 7 pages in black & white, 6 of which are full page. Condition: This vintage pulp is in solid GOOD to VERY GOOD condition. There is light toning to page edges, but no brittleness, and pages are flippable. Image makes paper appear MORE toned than they actually are, the pages are in nicer than average condition for these older pulps. No markings except for MINOR marks on the table of contents page (see image). The covers have soft corners/tips, and minor scuffing/fading to the spine, but still overall a nice, bright presentable copy. Binding is tight and boxed. Preserved in an acid-free archival bag. Fun Fact 1: Nelson Bond was quite prolific with short-stories in the 1930's & 1940's, and was awarded the Nebula Author Emeritus award for lifetime achievement in 1998. The story printed in this issue dates back to 1949 and prior. Fun Fact 2: Edmond Hamilton was first published in 1926, and became a mainstay in the group of Weird Tales writers such as H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard. He is also credited for establish the Space Opera genre along with E. E. Doc Smith. Works by: Alexander M. PhillipsWallace West Nelson Bond Don Wilcox Edmond Hamilton H. Beam Piper David H. KellerG. Peyton Wertenbaker Amazing began in 1926, and was the first magazine fully dedicated to science-fiction. In doing this, Amazing brought about and helped define a new genre of pulp fiction. The content was a blend of fact and science fiction. It published first stories by such greats as Isaac Asimov, Roger Zealzny, Thomas M. Disch, Ursula K. LeGuin, John W. Campbell Jr. and others. There was a low period early on where the stories that were reprinted had the authors not properly paid. With some periods of hiatus, Amazing has been in publication for over 90 years. It has changed publishers and editors many times, going through various format changes. Never a major seller or holding a wide subscription base, it is is still acknowledged for having a major impact on the sci-fi & pulp genre and publishing industry. I will happily answer any further questions. Making offers: I certainly can appreciate wanting a better deal, and I've made offers myself on my own purchases. To be up front, if and when you make an offer, I will automatically reject crazy low "give it away" offers. Best not to waste our time. With a more reasonable offer, I will review current pricing for other comparable items out there and either accept, counter or decline submitted offer. If in that review, I find my pricing is already LOW and outdated, I may then increase the price to bring more in line with other offerings. I spend a lot of time sourcing the best offerings, preparing the listings with images and clear descriptions, and price fairly in MOST cases. I remain grateful to all who consider my offerings, and I look forward to serving your needs respectfully and with success.

Insurance will be an additional charge if desired. Typically, I will ship within 72hrs of payment, striving for closer to 48hrs. Will gladly ship faster if we connect in advance so I can make arrangements. Will combine multiple orders to save on shipping. eBay may assess sales tax based on the state requirements for where you reside. This is not something in my control, nor do I handle that in any way.
