Even back when PCH was cheap this one was tough to find. Never at the right place and right time for me. 

So, I guess I will have to be happy with the reprint…

Agreed, very happy to have gotten the FCBD book from MCS today.  Although it only reprints one story from the issue.

But it will do, and I can content myself knowing I've got these, at least:

Picked this up recently reprints the later run of Venus including #17-19.  Just another reason to show my Venus #19

Yay, they published Vol. 2 finally! Thanks for posting. 
Nice #19 too!

My only gripe about the Venus v2 book is it's a totally different format than the masterworks v1... Different trim size, trade dress, and no dust jacket.  But on its own it's a spectacular book I'm super happy to finally have.

Atlas only try at sports. What a bad idea. Cover is cool.

I picked this one up on the Bay. The curious thing is the date stamp on the back. The cover date of the book is August 1955, but the date FEB 16 1956 is on the back cover in three places. (Actually, one of the three says FEB 91 1956 because the 16 is flipped.) I have never seen a book with a date stamp that's six months later than the cover date. Is there any way this could be an actual arrival date, for instance if it was shipped on a slow boat to some overseas naval base commissary? Or did someone randomly stamp a date on it six months after it was purchased?
