Soft Cover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. ----------pulp magazine, digest size. COLLECTORS PLEASE NOTE: Astounding changed cover price from 25¢ to 35¢ effective the AUGUST 1951 issue. However, this MARCH 1951 issue bears a cover price of 35¢. The seller feels there are 2 possible reasons for this variant: (1) this is a test issue released in some areas to gauge the acceptability of the coming price increase, or (2) this is the rumoured Canadian edition (this issue was purchased, used, in Canada). Other than the cover price, the only difference between the 25¢ and 35¢ issues is on the copyright page, where the statement "25¢ per Copy" at the bottom of the 25¢ page has been blackened out on the 35¢ page. Notable stories in this issue are Space Fear by Schmitz (part of his Agent of Vega series), and Cole's FIRST story Philosophical Corps. Pen "R" in circle on front cover, small splits to spine extremities, faint cover creases, a VG copy. Back cover advertisement is for Plastic Seat Cover Company.
