Item #39969 Five Against Venus. Philip Latham, Robert S. Richardson.

Five Against Venus

Philadelphia, PA: John C. Winston Company, 1952. First edition. Hardcover. 214pp. Octavo [22 cm] Red cloth over boards with the title and publisher's device stamped in black ink on the backstrip. Endpapers illustrated by Alex Schomburg. Very good plus. The spine ends and corners of the covers are very subtly bumped and rubbed, and the top edge of the text block is ever so slightly foxed. The endsheets are a bit discolored along the hinges, and the pages are browned. With the dust jacket featuring the art of Virgil Finlay, in very good condition. Lightly rubbed and soiled. Reginald 12222. Item #39969
