Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Story & Significance What makes this copy worth attention is the binding. Currey records three bindings for the Gnome Press issue of "The Vortex Blaster," listed in priority order, and the blue boards with yellow spine lettering are the first of the thr…ee. This is a copy in that priority binding, the earliest trade state Gnome Press put on the book, not simply a first edition in whatever binding turned up. There is also a bibliographic wrinkle worth knowing. Currey lists two issues of the title. The one offered here is the Gnome Press issue, with the Hicksville, New York imprint on the title page. A separate issue exists under a Reading, Pennsylvania, Fantasy Press imprint, an overrun of roughly 341 copies that Lloyd Eshbach ran off immediately after the Gnome printing on better paper. The two are told apart by the imprint, and the distinction matters when you are matching a copy to a reference. This copy is the Gnome issue. The book itself is a fix-up set in Smith's Lensman universe, following Neal "Storm" Cloud as he hunts down loose atomic vortices. It was later reissued in paperback as "Masters of the Vortex," so the original Gnome hardcover under its first title is the one a press collector wants. Physical Description The binding is blue boards with the spine lettered in yellow, square at the corners, the boards still bright. The copyright page carries the stated "First Edition" with the Hicksville, New York imprint, confirming the Gnome Press issue and first printing. The dust jacket is the original wrap-around design by W.I. Van der Poel, unclipped with the $3.00 price intact, now housed in a new archival Mylar sleeve. It has escaped the heavy spine sunning that often catches this title, and the colors remain strong. The condition needs to be stated plainly. The text block and internal pages show significant tanning and darkening, heaviest at the edges. The binding is tight and the hinges are sound, but the paper itself has browned, and a buyer should expect that. The listing photographs of the text block show exactly what is there. Collector's Note For anyone working through Gnome Press, the binding priority is the thing to get right here. Three bindings exist, and only the blue boards with yellow lettering are the earliest; the gray cloth and gray wrappers Currey also records come later. The honest tradeoff is the browned text block against an unusually well-preserved exterior.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. "First Edition" on its copyright page, and publisher's original "$3.00" price on its jacket's front flap. Currey "priority (A)" binding: "blue boards, spine lettered in yellow". This book is in near fine condition, marred only by light bumps on its c…overs' spine ends and front bottom corner. Its binding is sound and square, with no spine crease. Covers are unmarked and otherwise unworn. Pages are unmarked and unworn, with some normal light toning around their edges. Its dust jacket, now protected by a removable mylar cover, is also in near fine condition: whole, bright and unmarked, with some thin scrapes down its spine, two tiny holes in its back flap fold, and faint traces of wear on the ends of its spine and flap folds. I will ship this book in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble cushion, inside a sturdy box to assure it reaches its new owner in the same condition as my description.
