Library Additions: A Heinlein Triad (Including A Heinlein Triad)

I recently obtained three Robert A. Heinlein first editions to add to the library: The Man Who Sold the Moon, Have Space Suit–Will Travel and A Heinlein Triad (hence the recursive nature of the headline).

  • Heinlein, Robert A. The Man Who Sold the Moon. Shasta Publishers, 1950. First edition hardback, in a first state ($3.00 price, 10 titles on back) dust jacket, a Near Fine copy in a Near Fine dust jacket, with slight wear at head, slight soiling to rear panel and very slight age darkening to spine panel (much less than usual, and no noticeable fading to red portions). Part of Heinlein’s Future History series. Jack L. Chalker & Mark Owings, The Science Fantasy Publishers: A Critical and Bibliographic History, P. 398.

  • Heinlein, Robert A. Have Space Suit–Will Travel. Scribner’s, 1958. First edition hardback (code A9-58 on copyright page, as per Currey), a Fine copy in a Near Fine- dust jacket with one abrasion to front cover, a touch of edgewear, and faint touches of dust staining (slightly exaggerated in the scan). David Pringle, Science Fiction: The Hundred Best Books.

  • Heinlein, Robert A. A Heinlein Triad. Gollancz, 1966. First edition, an Ex-library copy with signs of pocket removal on FFE and light stain on half-title page, otherwise Very Good in Near Fine dust jacket.

      I have a copy of the middle one, but the dj isn’t in good shape. The book’s not all that great, either, but it was only a buck, so I can’t complain.

      Lovely to see that cover of the first edition of HSWT–it was the one I held in my hands when I read the book for the very first time, back in the Jr. High Library circa 1972. What a nice memory.
