The July issue has a thin chip out of the foredge of the front cover. The July and September issues have some toning to the top corners of the text pages. ) The text pages are generally clean and bright otherwise. "Samuel R. Delany called the novel "endlessly fascinating" and said that it "maintains a delicacy, a bravura, and a joy". [4] The novel's second half has been praised as intriguing, as it goes into what happens after a typical hero's journey is finished. Oscar is married to a ruler in a situation that should be "happily ever after" and the end of many works, yet the novel continues rather than stops: having nothing to do and nothing new to conquer is itself a struggle for Oscar. A review at SF Site by Peter D. Tillman thought the book was okay, but felt it had aged poorly in parts. While Tillman acknowledged loving the book while younger and it making a good "pulp" read, he felt that it wasted too much time on Heinlein's personal hang-ups and rants, and that the relationship between Oscar and Star was too much puerile wish-fulfillment.

First Edition. Also contains original work by Cyril Kornbluth, Eric Frank Russell, et.al. Along with FRITZ, WILLY AND BOB AND THE SUMMER OF '48, Posthumous Press, 2005, first edition, as new in like pictorial dust-wrapper. 1/85 copies, the total print run, revealing for the first time that George Pal was not Heinlein's first choice as producer on this project. This small volume reproduces the text of a letter (which has never before been published anywhere about a hitherto unknown occurrence) from the world renowned film director Fritz Lang to his very good friend and perhaps equally renowned rocket and space travel enthusiast, Willy Ley. It's a most fascinating letter concerning events of the summer of 1948 when then a still maturing science fiction writer named Robert Heinlein visited Fritz Lang in the hopes of stimulating the esteemed film director to produce an accurate and technically correct film of a journey to the moon. What actually transpired between the two men (at least from Mr. Lang's point of view) makes fascinating reading, if not only for the fact that such a meeting took place, but also in an attempt to better understand the machinations of that marvelous and enigmatic wonderland of magic and nepotism we call Hollywood. The 85 copies produced have some variation. As with the first Posthumous Press publication, which is now available only through the antiquarian market place at a price more than 6 times the original, it will not be reprinted. Along with SHOOTING "DESTINATION MOON" in Astounding for July, 1950, Street & Smith, first edition, just about vg in wraps.
