Cloth. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good Plus. Cartier, Edd [jacket] Ilustrador. First Edition. New York: Gnome Press, 1950. First Edition. Introduction by Willy Ley. Edited by Martin Greenberg, this copy signed, inscribed and presented by him to Arthur C. Clarke. Octavo, 351 pp. Purple cloth-backed gray cloth boards, with silver spine titling and blindstamped launching-spaceship and star motif on purple margin. Pictorial dustjacket by sci-fi illustration luminary Edd Cartier. A near fine book, with only minor page edge soiling and a trace of partial spine fade, in a Very Good + jacket, showing light perimeter wear. Singular copy, inscribed and presented to Arthur C. Clarke by Greenberg, with provenance of unimpeachable order accompanying the book. An increasingly classic collection of short stories by some of the now-timeless sci-fi names. Willy Ley: "Here is a different type of anthology. This book, taken in its entirety, tells a story: the conquest of space. Moving from man's first attempt to reach the moon to the exploration of the ends of the universe, these stories are among the finest ever published." - Willy Ley. Hailed by critics at the time of its publication as a quantum leap forward in both quality and concept for science fiction anthologies, Martin Greenberg's thematically edited Men Against the Stars is a collection of twelve lengthy stories whose authors read like a Who's Who of Golden Age sci-fi, including Isaac Asimov, Murray Leinster, A.E. Van Vogt, L. Ron Hubbard [Hubbard's "When Shadows Fall" is here], and E.M. Hull. Not a slap-dash aggregation to get to the printer quickly, Greenberg's collection was a thoroughly contemplated and planned project, a selection of the very finest available stories on theme, ranging back as far as 1939. Nicely complimented by a Cartier's funky pure genre period stylization jacket. A sci-fi presentation copy of the highest sort, that of a veteran and astute editor to a future superstar. Arthur C. Clarke's reputation at the time was already becoming established, and Greenberg shows the admiration in his skilled critical eye for Clarke's sci-fi talents in his presentation remark. As always, please feel free to ask questions or request additional scans. L53n. Signed, Inscribed By Editor.

SCARCE FIRST EDITION, LIMITED AND SIGNED BY THE ARTIST. A BEAUTIFUL COPY. Harry Clarke has taken the grotesquerie of Aubrey Beardsley a few steps further--magnificent illustrations in a style perfect for this tale.

The riveting tension between Goethe's concept of good and evil and the mythic proportions of his Mephistopheles, Faust, Margaret, and Martha, are all marvelously conjured in these outstanding illustrations.

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Dust Jacket Included. Handsomely bound and remarkably preserved in sturdy woven green cloth stamped brightly in black with a drawing of Andersen with a pair of large scissors glowing over his head, a nod to his skill with Scherenschnitte. A near-fine copy; very clean and tight; near fine internally. With 16 glorious color plates and 24 striking atmospheric black & white plates by Harry Clarke.

The front and rear flaps and the rear panel are unprinted; only the spine and front panel have lettering and striking artwork. With uniform light soiling to the rear panel and edge-rubbing along the front fold and bottom edge of the front panel of the jacket. Quite attractive overall. Clarke s illustrations for Andersen s fairy tales are rather wild, atmospheric, and occasionally grotesque reminiscent of his phantasmagoric illustrations for Edgar Allan Poe s Tales of Mystery and Imagination. A magnificent production and perhaps an inspiration to the founding brothers of Arkham House, both authors and artists in their own rights. Hans Christian Andersen (1805 1875) was a Danish author. Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, he is best remembered for his literary fairy tales.Andersen's fairy tales, consisting of 156 stories across nine volumes,[1] have been translated into more than 125 languages.[2] They have become embedded in Western collective consciousness, accessible to children as well as presenting lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity for mature readers.[3] His most famous fairy tales include "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", "The Red Shoes", "The Princess and the Pea", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling", "The Little Match Girl", and "Thumbelina". His stories have inspired ballets, plays, and animated and live-action films. (Wikipedia) Donald Albert Wandrei (1908 1987)[1] was an American science fiction, fantasy and weird fiction writer, poet and editor. He was the older brother of science fiction writer and artist Howard Wandrei. He had fourteen stories in Weird Tales, another sixteen in Astounding Stories, plus a few in other magazines including Esquire. Wandrei was the co-founder (with August Derleth) of the prestigious fantasy/horror publishing house Arkham House. At the age of 16, Wandrei completed his short story "The Red Brain", in which a mysterious Cosmic Dust sweeps through the universe, obliterating the stars. Only Antares, inhabited by a race of viscous Brains, survives and this last remnant of universal sentience entrusts its fate to the unique, laboratory-created Red Brain in a compelling fable that leaves behind the concerns of human aquarium to revel in the cosmos and the ultimate terror waiting there.[2] Wandrei started writing in 1926 and his writing career took off around 1932. In late 1927 he hitchhiked from Minnesota to Rhode Island to visit H.P. Lovecraft. Lovecraft conducted him on a grand antiquarian tour of Providence and then on to similar tours in Boston, Salem and Marblehead. There was also an excursion to Warren, Rhode Island, later made famous by Wandrei's reminiscences in the Arkham House volume Marginalia (1944) during which Wandrei, Lovecraft and James Ferdinand Morton each sampled twenty-eight different flavors of ice cream at Maxfield's ice-cream parlour. In 1925, Wandrei gave Clark Ashton Smith $50 so the Auburn poet could see Sandalwood through the press. Wandrei's first book, begun at age 18 and published when he was but 20, was the poetry volume Ecstasy & Other Poems which was published by W. Paul Cook's The Recluse Press in 1928. The book's verse shows homage to Clark Ashton Smith and to Smith's poetic mentor George Sterling. In 1964, Arkham House. Signed by Author.

Hardcover. Cloth. Lidded box. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. Box: Very Good Plus. Clarke, Harry Ilustrador. First Edition Thus. 4to. 27 by 21.5 cm. 412, [1] pp. With 32 plates, none of which are mounted onto leaves. (Plates not counted in the pagination, and the backs of their leaves are blank.) Clarke's illustrations for this work are today his best known, and his style, clearly inspired by Beardsley, serves the material perfectly, making them possibly the most popular illustrations connected with Poe's short stories. The book's cloth has a few indistinct, or inconspicuous stains, on the front cover. The dust jacket has light edgewear. The front and back cover of the dust jacket have faint, vague white chalky spotting and lines -- given that the cover is black, staining shows itself, if it does, as lighter. That said, we think few would have concern for this issue, which is truly trivial. We suspect that one could probably remove most of this, but we ourselves think it best not to mess with things here. The box is structurally sound. The paper pastedown on the lid top has one small abrasion and some very light dusty soiling here and there. Notwithstanding these issue points, we believe most would find the entire package close to pristine.

Colish, Inc. of Mount Vernon, New York, under the supervision of Bert Clarke "Thirty five years ago in a small beach house by the Pacific Ocean on the Coast of California, this book began to take its form. It was my intent to explore a technical means that would permit me to work with great rapidity. I had done a considerable amount of experimentation with materialsthat were on hand and processes that would evolve in the course of action. All this points to a technical development needed to permit the fluidity of thought to evolve from page to page without disruption or discontinuity. Speed of execution being essential, it became possible by drawing in the back side of paper using fingers, thumb, palm and various tools made of wood or metal. The ink was rolled on glass. Pressure picked up the ink in a granular way, which I liked. Technique and image were developing along parallel lines, interacting and transmogrifying no end. The whole sequence of fifty pages came into being, in about twenty-four hours of uninterrupted work. (Bertoia).
