Overall very good with moderate wear, some toning and contemporary tape reinforcement to the spine ends of the early issues. A nearly complete 30-year run of *Galaxy Science Fiction* totaling 246 issues (lacking only eight) of this important and influential science-fiction anthology. Starting with its first year, *Galaxy* set the standard for science fiction by offering authors top rates and providing a less ridged definition of science fiction that could incorporate sociology, psychology, and satire. The result was a stable of top writers such as Ray Bradbury, Robert A. Heinlein, Jack Vance, Harlan Ellison, Robert Silverberg, Alfred Bester, Philip K. Dick, George R.R. Martin, Frank Herbert, James Blish, Theodore Sturgeon. Larry Niven, Ursula K. Le Guin, Roger Zelazny, and many others. In the first few year alone *Galaxy* publisher several important stories: Damon Knight's "To Serve Man," which was adapted into the classic *Twilight Zone* episode; Bradbury's "The Fireman," which was expanded into the dystopian novel *Fahrenheit 451*; and Heinlein's *The Puppet Masters*. The magazine's stature lead to the publication of a number of Hugo and Nebula Award-wining stories and novellas such: Bester's "The Demolished Man," Fritz Leiber's "The Big Time," Ellison's " 'Repent, Harlequin!' Said the Ticktockman," Herbert's "Dune Messiah," Silverberg's "Nightwings," and Zelazny's "Damnation Alley." A wonderful nearly complete run of this important and influential science-fiction anthology.
