Holyoke, MA: Columbia Publications, Inc. 1st Editions 1953, 1954, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959 & 1960 ----------This heavy set will require NO additional shipping charges for standard shipping for a US or Canadian order, overseas orders will require a shipping charge DRAMATICALLY LESS than actual postage (inquire). Science fiction pulp magazines, digest size, 38 issues in all. Science Fiction had been standard pulp size from its' start in 1939, to 1943, when it was discontinued. None of those 1939-1943 issues are included in this offering. In 1953 and 1954, 2 digest size test issues were published, then in January 1955 regular publication began, and ran until May, 1960. Offered here is the COMPLETE set of the digest size 2 test issues (1953 & 1954), and the subsequent 36 regular publication issues (1955-1960), to a total of 38 volumes in digest size. Of some interest is the fact that the official title of this magazine is "Science Fiction Stories". The prefix "The Original" was a descriptive blurb added in September 1955 to indicate that this was the first magazine to be titled "Science Fiction" way back in the pulp days of 1939. In any event, this is the complete 38-volume set of the digest size Science Fiction Stories or The Original Science Fiction Stories, call it what you will. Many of the major writers of the period appeared in Science Fiction Stories, including Philip K. Dick (3 stories), Isaac Asimov (2 stories), Robert Silverberg (at least 17 stories under his own name and pseudonyms), Algis Budrys (6 stories), Clifford Simak (3 stories), many others. Some notable stories are The Tower of Zanid by L. Sprague de Camp, Caduceus Wild by Ward Moore, and R.A. Lafferty's very first story, Day of the Glacier. Some issues have creases, small tears, chips, spine damage, staining, pen on cover. Condition ranges from fair to near fine, with most being at least VG.. First Edition. Soft Cover. Very Good. Illus. by Ed Emshwiller, Frank Kelly Freas, Paul Orban, Alex Schomberg, Others (front covers). Note: our prices on Biblio are the LOWEST of any of the sites on which we list our books.
