GALAXY 1973,May and July [set]
Sold only as set. Both parts of John Boyd serial: THE DOOMSDAY GENE - which has no American paperback edition, and is one of his better books. While the paperback-stock is much more durable - I think they also changed the paper stock at the same time: to a lesser quality which quickly goes to a moderate uniform tanning. My own copies look the same - you may not be able to do better (through mid-1975.) No stamps, marks or writing.
