HEINLEIN FANTASY PRESS, 1948. FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING. 3497 SETS OF SHEETS PRINTED. THIS IS THE RARE TRIAL, BLUE CLOTH BINDING STATE PRODUCED ALONG WITH A TRIAL, BLUE DUST JACKET, AND BLUE-INK-PRINTED ADVERTISING LEAFLET. (PLEASE NOTE THAT NEITHER THE BLUE JACKET NOR THE BLUE LEAFLET ARE PRESENT.) REPORTS VARY AS REGARDS THE NUMBER COPIES BOUND IN BLUE CLOTH. OWINGS AND CHALKER REPORT "4 OR 5" OF THE TRIAL JACKETS WERE PRODUCED. THE EXPERIENCE OF SOME ADVANCED COLLECTOR/DEALERS LEADS THEM TO CONCLUDE THAT THE BINDING IS LESS EASY TO ACQUIRE THAN IS THE JACKET. AS THIS COPY OF THE BOOK AND JACKET SEEM TO HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR A VERY LONG TIME, AS IS EVIDENCED BY THEIR SHARED FLAWS, THE FEW TRIAL BOUND COPIES WERE APPARENTLY TREATED AS TRADES BY THE PUBLISHER AND SOLD WITH THE REGULAR JACKET WHEN THE BRICK RED CLOTH ISSUE BINDING WAS EXHAUSTED. THE ORIGINAL PRICE OF $3.00 AT THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THE FRONT FLAP OF THE DUST JACKET IS UNCLIPPED. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS LISTING, PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO RESPOND.
