Digest. Condition: Good+. First Edition, 1st Printing. A nice copy of the Winter 1950 issue of the British science fiction magazine Science-Fantasy. This issue was the the second and last publication under the editorship of Walter Gillings. Science-Fantasy was published during the 1950s to accompany New Worlds magazine. In the late 1940s, Gillings had produced three volumes of his first science fiction venture "Fantasy" before it failed. As a result, he was left with a substantial amount of stories purchased with the intention of publication. In 1950, Nova brought on Gillings as its editor of their new magazine, Science-Fantasy. With him came the inventory of stories from "Fantasy." After only two issues (Summer and Winter 1950) Gillings was replaced by New Worlds editor John Carnell. This copy is in remarkable condition for its age and scarcity. Cover's have some light wear and the staples have corroded over time leaving its stain on the inner margins. A soft vertical crease permeates most of the 96 numbered pages paginated [i: inner cover advertisements], [1], 2-96, [97: inner back cover advertisement for the Fantasy Book Centre]. Binding is solid with no loose pages. Pages are clean and unmarked. A good+ copy that beats many seen recently come to market. Powell, Turner, and Ernst (illustrator).…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. near fine. First and Limited Edition. First edition in book form, octavo size, 405 pp., signed by Thomas Russell. This the first edition in book form of the letters of Dame Shirley, in which she recounts her experiences living in a mining camp in California in the mid-nineteenth century. The letters tell of life in the mining camp in rich detail and offer a unique perspective from an intellectual New England woman, and form a personal picture of the hardships and innovation during the California Gold Rush. The sources wax rich with praise: per Howes, the work is "a vivid and unexcelled picture of everyday life in the mines." Gary Kurtiz ("The California Gold Rush") has a wonderful short essay on both the author and the various early publications, saying in part: "The 'Shirley Letters' have received the highest possible praise. The important of her letters was recognized early on and influenced the views and writings of Josiah Royce, Hubert Howe Bancroft, Bret Harte, and possibly, Samuel Clemens" (p. 133). With eight hand-coloured prints and signed by Thomas C. Russell at the limitation page, in the original jacket, tipped in at the rear is a spare paper spine label. An outstanding production of an important work in the history of California written by a female author. ___DESCRIPTION: Quarter bound in coarse white/brown linen with a paper spine label, the boards covered with plain brown paper, endpapers of the same brown paper, top edge gilt, limitation statement on the verso of the half-title page, this no. 224 of the total edition (450) and one of 50 printed on California bond-paper and with hand-coloured plates, signed by the publisher, tissue-guarded frontispiece one of eight bound in throughout, an extensive forward written by "the Printer", each section of the book with an intricately detailed chapter headpiece and opening in-text decoration, these both in blue; octavo size (8 5/8" by 5 5/8"), pagination: [2, blank recto with publisher's ad on verso ("Other Reprints Issued"), [i-iv] v-l [2, half-title with blank verso] 1-350 [1, printer's statement].
