Here' s my last UNRESTORED filler copy.....I think, like the #8 before it, one lucky buyer will have found their forever copy....

 

#7 - Former CGC 5.5 - $1500 - Awesome spacecraft cover with dynamite color strike. One piece of old tape interior, tiny fleck of ink out mid right cover. Some indentations on cover. Glossy and lovely with a supple interior.  SCARCE BOOK.

That number 9 is probably the coolest book in this thead, which is saying a WHOLE LOT!

And Susan Cicconi is certainly among the very best in the world at this. 

This thread is a whole lotta awesome.

:tink:

 

Can't freakin' wait for my book! So lucky to have stumbled across this.

such great books - while the books are trimmed - I like that that the trimming wasn't done recently and isn't part of an attempt to improve the eye appeal  - but rather part of a binding process. 

 

glwts and congrats to the buyers. 

Yes, these books were bound in 1940-41 (and bound very well  with minimal damage unlike many bound books). The work Susan had to do was minimal by most standards. Yes, the three edges were trimmed, but right at the beginning and have near-a-century of patina on them. Plus, since they were bound that first year,  they were well protected for 85 years. Opening these books are what it is like looking at a Mile High book (in my HUMBLE  opinion...I've had a few)
