Also included in this run are many non-fiction articles including one by Robert Heinlein on the filming of Destination Moon. This run is particularly interesting because it contains the first ever published appearance of any part of L. Ron Hubbard's writings on Dianetics in an article titled DIANETICS: The Evolution of a Science. The Editors Page of that issue includes a 2 page essay by the editor in support of Dianetics, or at least in support of further expirementation along the lines of Dianetics. The Dianetics article was republished as a book in 1955 and is today considered a canonical text of Scientology. A later issue in this run of Astounding includes letters to the editor about the Dianetics article - they are overwhelmingly postive, that section also has a 2,000 word response from L. Ron Hubbard to the positive letters. Later issues in this run contain Hubbard's second and third articles on Dianetics. Also in this run are 2 articles by L. Sprague de Camp that may be subtly making fun of Hubbard and Dianetics. Hubbard later referred to de Camp as "my enemy." Condition of the issues ranges from Good to Very Good+ depending on the issue. All appear to have been read, some more gently than others. Ships same or next business day very well protected in a box. This price is for US Domestic Media Mail only. Priority Mail and International Mail orders will not be filled unless buyer pays the full cost of postage - extra charges will be required. ; 16mo 6" - 7" tall. …
