About this Item

Vol. 37, No. 11 November 1963 - American edition, printed and published in the USA, with a price of 50 cents on the front cover. This issue includes the first publication of the short story "What'll We Do With Ragland Park?" by Philip K. Dick, novelet "Savage Pellucidar" by Edgar Rice Burroughs, two other short stories and other features (please see scan of Contents page for a full list of the authors). ***Very good in colour illustrated paper covers, with front cover artwork by Alex Schomburg. The covers have some light wear commensurate with age and handling, but are generally clean, although a previous UK bookseller has written sale prices 1/9 and 1/6 on the front cover (please see scans). The edges of the covers are slightly rubbed and creased, but the fragile spine is intact and still flat with no reading creases. Internally the magazine is also very good, with no inscriptions or annotations and no significant creases or tears - just a bit of creasing to the corner tips of the pages. Cheap pulp paper stock tanned as usual. Pages clean. Spine tight. ***194mm x 140mm. 130 pages including three pages of ads at the back. ***'"What'll We Do With Ragland Park?" is a science fiction short story by American writer Philip K. Dick. It was first published in Amazing Stories magazine in 1963. The story is a sequel to "Stand-By", a variation on the classic theme of the prophecy that always comes true. The original manuscript title was "No Ordinary Guy"'.
