Item description from seller

Octavo, three issues, pictorial wrappers, stapled. Digest magazine. All three issues of Britain's first digest size science fiction magazine. Some highlights are first printings of "Last Conflict" by John Russell Fearn and Technical Error" by Arthur C. Clarke (issue one), "Relic" by Eric Frank Russell and "Castaway" by Arthur C. Clarke writing as Charles Willis (issue two), and "The Fires Within" by Arthur C. Clarke writing as "E. G. O'Brien" (issue three). A short lived magazine that could not hang on due to the paper shortages after WWII, reportedly only 6,000 copies were printed and all sold out. [Reference: Tymn and Ashley (eds), Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Weird Fiction Magazines, pp. 256-57]. All have mild darkening to text paper, issues one and two are nearly fine, issue three is very good with mild wear and creases, closed tear repaired with clear tape to lower left front corner. (31566).
