First Edition. HISTORY OF CIVILIZATION being TRIPLANETARY & GALACTIC PATROL, Fantasy Press, 1955, first edition, some browning to the gutters and outer margins of the paste-downs as often found, else near fine copies. These 2 orphans most certainly lend credence to the fact that not all sets produced (allegedly 75) and distributed remained intact. I have had other strays from this highly desirable Fantasy Press production as well and have noted other dealers occasionally listing the same over the years. TRIPLANETARY is wonderfully INSCRIBED as usual by the author while GALACTIC PATROL is just SIGNED by Smith. Further testimony to there being less that 75 sets being sold in tact is evidence of simple binding mistakes. Indeed, our copy of GALACTIC PATROL has been mis-bound resulting in a text block of this title incorrectly stamped on the spine as CHILDREN OF THE LENS. All in all, a fun pairing for those who may not have the funds to be able to purchase the complete set of six.

First Edition. *** MARVELOUS ASSOCIATION COPY ***SKYLARK OF SPACE, Buffalo Book Company, 1946, first edition, lower front fore edge corner tip very gently bumped, some rubbing to the corner tips and spine ends as well as just a bit to the bottom edge of the front board, else a vg copy in like color pictorial dust-wrapper save for some chipping to the spine extremities of the somewhat tanned spine. This copy warmly INSCRIBED at the time of publication to fellow author and one of Smith's closest friends, E. Everett Evans thusly, "To E. Everett Evans, the ol' Foo of Fandom; who believes with me (and practices his beliefs) that pats on the back produce more and better work than do kicks in the seat of the pants. I take pleasure and pride in autographing this, the first novel in which I had a hand. Edust-wrapper ard E. Smith, Ph. D., May 6, 1946." Additionally this copy is SIGNED by the artist Charles Schneeman at his illustration and appreciatively INSCRIBED to Evans by the dedicatee on the verso of the dedication page, Jeannie Smith (the author's wife) thusly, "I'll autograph here E.E.E. as this is where I belong and thank you for including me. It's quite a thrill to have had a part in the writing /typing of this book even though I don't know what it's all about. As ever, Jeannie." But wait. There's more! On the bottom half of the dedication page is a taped in photo of Edust-wrapper ard & Jeannie Smith circa 1946. And even more! This copy has the special illustrations for this book that were not used, put published in the Fantasy Advertiser at a later date laid in. Knowing that this is the authors first book and that May 6, 1946 makes it the earliest known date of any INSCRIBED copy of this title as well, seems to indicate that this is a choice copy of this work by one of the most influential writers in the genre. An obvious cornerstone for any science fiction library.
