ADVENTURES IN TIME AND SPACE An Anthology of Modern Science-Fiction Stories Edited by Raymond J. Healy and J. Francis McComas. New York: Random House, (1946). First edition: first binding (8 5/8"): correct first state dust jacket. From the ISFDB: The first edition book was issued in two dust jacket states. The first state jacket had two mistakes: the painted subtitle on the front begins "36 Non-Fiction Stories of the Future ...", and the printed blurb on front flap begins, "A collection of thirty-four stories, ....". It appears this flawed first state jacket was withdrawn quickly since it is very scarce. The more common second state jacket corrects both mistakes: the first line of the subtitle on jacket has been re-painted to say "35 Science-Fiction Stories of the Future ...", and the printed blurb on jacket flap now begins, "A collection of thirty-five stories, ....". A careful comparison of books with both states showed no other differences in jacket or book. Light tan cloth embossed in blue and gilt on front and spine. Former owner's name to the front endpaper, minor soiling to the covers, else very good; in a worn dust jacket that is about very good with internal old (aged) cellotape repairing at the upper and lower shelf edge. The jacket shows wear and tears along the folds, age-toning, and shelf wear. The original price of $2.95 is still intact on the front flap Jacket design by George Salter. A collection of thirty-five stories and novelettes including "By His Bootstraps" by Robert A. Heinlein writing under the pseudonym of Anson MacDonald.
