A novella, the first portion of this reads like a James Bond thriller (perhaps better). "Elsewhen" is very minor Heinlein, with almost no characterization and very little plot. It originally appeared in Sept 1941 issue of Astounding (as by 'Caleb Saunders'), "Lost Legacy" is the other long piece here, first appearing in the Oct 1941 issue of Super Science Stories (as by 'Lyle Monroe'). "Jerry was a Man" is perhaps the story of most relevance to today's world. First appearing in the Oct 1947 issue of Thrilling Wonder Stories, it is a world of genetic engineering marvels.* This is a NEAR FINE copy of the 1st/1st thus with minimal age reducing it to VG++.* This is a NEAR FINE copy of the 1st/1st fnl. with minimal age reducing it to VG++.* 0 144 pp. 1978-09-01.

Paperback: 7" x 4¼". Condition: Very Good: Light signs of wear. 1978 Edition. © 1960: A collection of 2 stories by Robert A Heinlein. 1st printing of 1978 paperback edition:- Contents: Lost Legacy / Jerry Was A Man:- Synopsis: Hypothesis: The human brain only uses the smallest part of its potential. If one could be trained to ma…ke use of the rest, virtually anything would be possible: telepathy, telekinesis, levitation, clairvoyance. In 'Lost Legacy' that is exactly what happens. Three people find they have enormous powers - a doctor can heal without the use of surgery or medicine - a lecturer can instruct without the use of words - a woman can drive without looking at the road ahead. But why have they got these powers? Can any human being be trained to develop their own 'unknown' abilities? Only a trip to the ancient mountain of Shasta can provide the answers. / Hypothesis: If one could change the genetic structure of any living being, then virtually any variation of life could be created in any shape, size or form. 'Jerry Was A Man' explores these possibilities, from a miniature elephant capable of communicating with humans to a flying horse. with all the sinister implications that such manipulation might engender:- Review(s): "Two powerful stories of speculative fiction from the acknowledged master, Robert A Heinlein:- (original cost £0.80).
