I believe you'd shown it before but not in all its glory. That's a Feb - March 1952 book btw. Only copies I've seen were rags and it's not a common book either!

 

:popcorn:

I have a theory that all copies were damaged during binding prior to being shipped from the printer. The copy above is one of two that came from Wendall Crowley's books (the Fawcett editor). Both copies have large spine splits, yet look virtually unread. The paper seems to have split due to the folding process. This may be the nicest copy around, yet would only technically grade a 3.0 or so with the spine splitting.

Fawcett had some pretty back covers!

Here's what the real front cover looked like.

have we ever had a back cover thread (shrug)

Yes, about a year ago. I'm too lazy to bump it though.

It's Woodbridge who was Frazetta influenced. Nice books. I like Premiers because of the Woodbridge covers and interiors and, like on your copies, attractive coloring of the covers.
