Three Quarter Leather. Condition: Good. 427 pages, gilt edge all around (very shiny!) The block of the book and the binding is secure and sound, not starting. The back strip has separated from the block at the point of the hinges. It's still present, loose, but shows some loss of leather. It could be glued to the back strip but probably wouldn't be a permanent solution. The cover gilt illustration and lettering is starkly beautiful against the brown pebbled leather. Couldn't find any info on the publisher from Indianapolis; Robert Douglass, Indianapolis, Ind. 1888 is stated at the bottom of the title page. The copyright page states Copyright by M.W. Hazen 1888 At the time, subscription was the modus operandi for the distribution of books. A salesman would present what is known as a saleman's dummy, the rear hinge would have sample strips of the cloth and leather bindings Deluxe. I am thinking that Robert Douglas was the Midwest distributor of the first edition. just a guess. Pretty rare, Deluxe.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Evanston, IL: Clark Publishing Company, 1948. The Fall, 1948 issue of Fate Magazine (Volume 1, Number 3) in Raymond A. Palmer's now-legendary paranormal-reporting non-fiction enterprise, which began with, in its first issue, Kenneth Arnold's cover account of flying crescents which "skipped like saucers across a pond", an event which, for whatever reason, kicked off the modern era of UFO events. After that, Fate introduced countless events which remain, to this day, fodder for paranormal documentaries and investigation. This Fall 1948 issue - the third issue ever - bears one of the handful of truly iconic Fate covers, that being "The Red River Witch" (see scan). 12mo, illustrated staple-bound wraps, 128 pp. A Near Fine copy - and this one is as near fine as near fine gets, with just touch micro-edgewear and an almost indiscernible degree of color fade as you look toward the spine. See scans. Standard toning to the interior newsprint-grade pages, but these are supple, clean and and unchipped. Highest Grade, particularly for a periodical which often shows substantial wear from use. This issue features articles on the memorable Red River Witch, Charles Fort, a Kenneth Arnold reprise on phantom lights in Nevada, The Valley of Never-Come-Back, America's White Sunworshippers (A Thor Heyerdahl piece), The Flying Jigsaw Puzzle, America's Most Famous Ghost Story, The Temple Girls of India, The Black Art, Two Girls, One Body, The Devil, ESP events and of course much, much else, including the standard Departments, always engrossing in themselves. Interior art and photography is largely uncredited. A piece of paranormal history, and an example of a unique branch of Americana, in very highly collectible condition. Please see scans. l50n.
