Book First Edition
Hardbound. Jacket Design Tony Greco (illustrator). Third Edition 1st Edtion. These two books are being sold together because they both deal with the history of the Science Fiction genre: The first, In Search of Wonder with an introduction by Anthony Boucher is a unique critical study of science fiction, Mr. Knight works on the principle that science fiction is a form of literature which needs no apologies and no special dispensations: it can and should be judged by the same high standards that apply to all literature. This expanded Third Edition is 150,000 words, up from 120,000 in the 1967 Second Edition, and double the length of the 1956 First Edition. This new edition adds a chapter of autobiography, articles on writing and teaching science fiction, and other fascinating essays. The second book:The Futurian Society is the story of the Great Science Fiction Family of the 1930's founded in 1938 by thirteen science fiction fans; it never numbered more than twenty, including wives, girl friends and hangers-on; yet out of this small group came seven of the most famous names in science fiction; Isaac Asimov, James Blish, Damon Knight, Cyril Kornbluth, Judith Merril, Frederik Pohl and Donald A. Wollheim. Brilliant, eccentric and poor, the Futurians invented their own subculture, with its communal dwellings, its folklore, songs and games, even its own mock religion. Both of these books are must haves' for fans and makers of modern Science Fiction. Both books are good to very good condition, some stained edges due to shelf sitting for many years. Bindings are square and the boards are parallel, no other damage. Both DJ are very good to excellent.
