 Author Name: Campbell, John W.
Title: The Mightiest Machine
Edition: First Edition Publisher: Providence, R. I. Hadley Publishing Illustrator: Pailthorpe, Robert
Seller ID: 404-4360
(1947). Very Good in a Fine dustjacket. Bound in full, pebbled black cloth. The spine is stamped in gilt. Octavo. 228pps., with illustrations by Robert Pailthorpe. The edges of the cloth are mildly rubbed and bumped and there is a slight lean to the spine. There is also light reading wear and a previous owner's name is neatly penned on the ffep. Otherwise overall clean, bright, and soundly bound. The dustjacket (second state F.F.F. publishers), glossy in a mylar sleeve, has a very faint, nearly imperceptible soil-mark on the front flap: otherwise as new. The original price is intact. This jacket (designed by Frank R. Paul) is from the estate of William Crawford, publisher of Fantasy Press, and had been stored flat for decades until it was recently married to this volume. A nice copy of the author's first science-fiction book, beautifully jacketed. Originally published in Astounding Stories in 1932.
"...The story of the space-ship Sunbeam, and its Jovian-born designer, Aarn Munro. Using energy directly from the sun itself, Munro and his colleagues are hurled into the Universe of the vast sun, Anrel, unthinkably far from our own cosmos. There they come into contact with humans who once inhabited our own Earth, on the continent of 'Mu', and are plunged into a life-and-death struggle with an eon-old enemy..."
