Seller's Description:
Robert Maguire (front covers) Very Good. ----------2 vintage paperbacks, variants of the same title. Frazee wrote mainly westerns, this was his only science fiction novel. Originally published in hardcover by Rinehart, it had these 2 paperback reprints in the 1950s: Lion in 1954, and Pyramid in 1958. BOTH these reprints are offered here, as a "COLLECTOR'S SPECIAL". The front covers of the 2 books, both by artist Robert Maguire, are similar, making one wonder if they were both done at the time of the Lion printing (1954), and then the unused cover was used for the later Pyramid printing (1958). Both books have 158 pages, and it is obvious that the same plates were used for both printings. Of interest, though, is there are slight DIFFERENCES IN THE TEXT of the 2 books. Mild expletives, present in the earlier Lion printing, are changed or omitted in the later Pyramid printing. For example, on page 36 the mild curse "J____ C_____" is present in the Lion version, while the Pyramid version eliminates the line of text entirely. Another amusing example is on page 146, where "J____ C_____" from the Lion version is replaced by "For Pete's sake" in the Pyramid! There are likely other examples, the bookseller has not done a line-by-line comparison. The bookseller is not attentive enough to have noticed these text variations in a simple reading of the books, it is likely that he read something about it decades ago, and has forgotten the source of the information, not unusual for him as he ages. The Lion has edgewear, a corner crease, and is VG to VG+. The Pyramid has a starting gutter crack, spine and reading creases, and is VG. Interesting variant editions.
