Description: Condition: This is a solid GOOD copy, especially considering it is 50+ years old. There is moderate rubbing to the cover edges and spine label, although no tearing, and the color cover art is still gorgeous. Internally, no markings, with minor toning primarily to the page borders. Preserved in an acid-free archival bag. About: Editor Cele G. Lalli. Great color cover by George Schelling. Internal black & white illustrations by Virgil Finlay, Schelling and others. Stories by: Piers Anthony, Fritz Leiber, David R. Bunch, Manly Banister, Jack Sharkey, C. C. MacApp. FUN FACT: This is a very early published short story for Piers Anthony, who has had quite a prolific career. Also, in standing up for his own works and treatment by the industry early on known for not treating writers fairly, he went on to advocate for and support aspiring authors. Fantastic saw a tenure of approximately 28 years, and was published as by Ziff-Davis as a fantasy companion to Amazing Stories. Later, it move from Fantasy to Science-Fiction, and helped launch the careers of such greats as Roger Zelazny, and Ursula K LeGuin. I will happily answer any further questions. Making offers: I certainly can appreciate wanting a better deal, and I've made offers myself on my own purchases. To be up front, if and when you make an offer, I will automatically reject crazy low "give it away" offers. Best not to waste our time. With a more reasonable offer, I will review current pricing for other comparable items out there and either accept, counter or decline submitted offer. If in that review, I find my pricing is already LOW and outdated, I may then increase the price to bring more in line with other offerings. I spend a lot of time sourcing the best offerings, preparing the listings with images and clear descriptions, and price fairly in MOST cases. I remain grateful to all who consider my offerings, and I look forward to serving your needs respectfully and with success.
