Not looking to resell the book.  I rarely, if ever, sell anything from my PC.  I didn't pay much for it but would love to be able to authenticate it.  The last few months have gotten me into finding books from the different pedigrees.  I already have one from the Crippen collection, so this would be a bonus if it were to play out like that.  

As an aside, this book came out in October of 1946, my dad was born in November 1946.  I lost my dad some 20 years ago, but books like this (pedigreed or not) remind me of him - although he hated my comic book collecting.  Ha!

My dad (b. 1939 and still alive) gave me his childhood collection (late 40s-early 50s) when I first got into comic collecting in the later 70s.  He also instilled in me a love of science fiction.  For which I am grateful.

Good Health to your Dad!  There are many times I wish I could have conversations with him.  He never got to see me being a father unfortunately.

My dad more instilled in me a love of movies.  To that end I have literally thousands of movies on DVD/Blu-Ray, even hundreds of his he recorded on VHS.  He, my grandmother, and great-grandmother bought me some comics when I was about 5 years old.  I didn't really get serious until I was about 18, but then I exploded into the hobby.  I became particularly fond of older books.  The older, the better for me. 

Retired now, but still enjoying the hobby from another perspective, but this is going way off topic.

Thank you again!

My dad made it for me to have kids. He loved to spoil them as I do my grandkids.

He did enjoy me getting some “pay back” though…
