ASTOUNDING 1953,February

Astounding Science Fiction February 1953 (Volume 50, Number 6)
Illustrations by Paul Orban, H. R. van Dongen. Cover by H. R. van Dongen (for "Null-ABC.")

Serial: "Null-ABC" (Part 1 of 2) by H. Beam Piper & John J. McGuire (the only book version until an expensive "Print-on-demand" version - was half of an Ace Double in 1957, titled Crisis in 2140. I liked it a lot, and it seems to have been forgotten by those who collected most of Piper's stories in the early Eighties.)
