First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. Cover Art Kelly Freas, interior art by France Watts (illustrator). 1st Edition. An American science fiction writer and editor. John W. Campbell was editor of Astounding Science Fiction (later called Analog Science Fiction and Fact) from late 1937 until his death and was part of the Golden Age of Science Fiction.These two books could not possibly encompass the enormous volumns of letters written by Campbell to authors and would-be authors over his 30+ years as an editor. That being said there where very specific criteria for the selection of letters in both volumn 1 and volumn 2. Volumn 1 was much more general in its selection than was volumn 2. In volumn 2 the only criteria for selection was whether or not Isaac Asimov and/or A.E. van Vogt and/or their stories where mentioned in the letters. Both volumns are very insightful reading to understand the direction Campbell was moving science fiction and the post Campbell condition of modern science fiction writing. Must have books for any person interested in the genesis of modern SF. The volume 1 paperback is in excellent condition with the exception, the pages are browning. Binding is square and the covers are not damaged, may never have been read. Volume 2, the hardcoved book is also in excellent condition with the exception of the outside edges and inside covers show foxing. Boards and binding are flat and square. Volume 2 is #171 of 300 and does not appear to have been read. Paperback Vol 1. Hardbond Vol 2.
