Item description from seller

© 1976: A collection of 9 short stories by Frederik Pohl. 1st edition, 1st printing:- Contents: Elegy To A Dead Planet: Luna / The Dweller In The Ice / The Kings Eye / It's A Young World / Daughters Of Eternity / Earth, Farewell! / Conspiracy On Callisto / Highwayman Of The Void / Double-Cross:- Synopsis: "In the winter of 1933, when I was just turned thirteen, I discovered three new truths. The first truth wa that the world was in a hell of a mess. The second was that I really was not going to spend my life being a chemical engineer, no matter what I had told my guidance counselor at Brooklyn Technical High School. And the third was that in my conversion to science fiction I Was Not Alone". With these words, a highly acclaimed writer and editor begins his early life and adventures in science fiction. Together with eight stories and one poem (all of which appeared during the period of 1940-44) is his delightful autobiographical commentary on each of them - as well as revealing anecdotes about his fandom associates, his friends and enemies, his many wives. Awards? Frederik Pohl has had dozens. Criticism? Plenty. But as Pohl says, "if I could go back in time and have the chance to do it over, knowing everything I know about the pains and the problems, the disappointments, and the slow-coming rewards I would do it exactly the same way, and exult at the chance". When you read this book you'll understand:- (original cost $5.95).…
