Fine in an As New dustjacket. Bound in full lime-green cloth. The spine is stamped in green. Small octavo. Gray endpapers. 371pps. Stated First Edition. There is very mild bumping to the spine-ends, otherwise clean, tight, square, and bright. All tips are sharp. The text is immaculate; no reading wear and no previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, is flawless; the original price is intact. This jacket was acquired from the estate of William Crawford, publisher of Fantasy Press, and had been stored flat for decades before being recently married to this volume. An excellent, collector's-quality copy. Dustjacket design by Jack Gaughan.
"...When an atomic explosion destroys the battleship Alaska, Lieutenant Commander Frank Jacklin returns to consciousness in New York, and is shocked to find himself in the body of Winnie Tompkins, a dissolute stock-broker. Unable to explain his real identity, Jacklin attempts to fit into Tompkins' way of life. Complications develop when Jacklin gets involved with Tompkins' wife, his red-haired mistress, and his luscious secretary -- three too many women for Jacklin to handle.
His foreknowledge of the Alaska's sinking, and other top-secret matters, plunges him into a mad whirl of intrigue and excitement in Washington -- that place where anything can happen, and does!..." Purchase with confidence: all books, gradings, and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile. Satisfaction guaranteed or all costs you've incurred will be promptly refunded.
