New York: The Citadel Press, 1957. First Edition & First Printing . Cloth. Very Good Plus/Very Good Plus. Octavo. Morris, Howard [jacket]. New York: The Citadel Press, 1957. First Edition [stated]. Octavo, 253 pp. Light blue cloth backed navy blue boards, jacket by Howard Morris. Very Good Plus book with trace of original binder's glue started to show as light stain on front and rear endpapers and small-scale trace wear at spine bottom, in a VG plus price-clipped jacket with small scale wear at bottom front cover and a bit of rubbing to rear panel. Nice first edition copy of Jessup's follow-up to The Case for the UFO, the controversial work through which Jessup was connected to the Philadephia Experiment and, allegedly, extraterrestrials. Two years after the publication of this title - which, though many consider it superior to its predecessor, did not sell well upon at publication - Jessup committed suicide, though probably for personal, not conspiratorial, reasons. Sharp copy in a much better than average jacket. L104
