Another book from that Mysterious Benefactor (I’m going to be cataloging these for quite a while), and another small press book from the 1950s.
Russell, Eric Frank. Deep Space. Fantasy Press, 1954. First edition hardback, a Fine copy in a Fine, Mylar-protected dust jacket (there’s a tiny bit of wrinkling at top of spine, but this is such a perfect copy that it feels like nit-picking); just a spectacular copy. Short story collection. Chalker/Owings says there’s a Grant remainder binding, but so close to the original that there’s no way to tell them apart; this copy is so “as new” that it may be one of those. Currey, page 423 (where he says this blue binding is the first state binding). Chalker/Owings, page 161. Kemp, The Anthem Series, page 45.
