1st
Paperback
Bob Blanchard
.35
near-Fine

Ballantine (388K) [1st printing] 1960. Cover by Blanchard, 159 pages, 35 cent cover price. Condition is near-Fine. Tight with slight lean, spine is flat. Age-tanning is mild and uniform. No stamps, marks or writing - a very clean copy. If not for the spinal tilt, I'd grade as "Fine" - this looks too tight to have been read.

The Unexpected Dimension, by Algis Budrys. His first collection of stories.

The End of Summer
The Distant Sound of Engines
Never Meet Again
The Burning World
First to Serve
Go and Behold Them
The Executioner

Stories are from 1954-1959, originally appearing in Astounding, Magazine of F&SF,Infinity, and Venture. About half of these were cover or lead stories - these are a good showcase of why Budrys was one of the leading story writers of the Fifties (and beyond.)
