Evanston, IL: Clark Publishing Company, 1956. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Soft cover. Near Fine. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. Evanston, IL: Clark Publishing Company, 1956. The March, 1956 issue of Fate Magazine (issue no.72) in Raymond A. Palmer's now-legendary paranormal-reporting non-fiction enterprise, which began with, in its first issue, Kenneth Arnold's cover account of flying crescents which "skipped like saucers across a pond", an event which, for whatever reason, kicked off the modern era of UFO events. After that, Fate introduced countless events which remain, to this day, fodder for paranormal documentaries and investigation. 12mo, illustrated perfect-bound wraps, 130 pp. A Near Fine copy - very near fine - with a tiny chip at bottom front cover (see scan), else nothing to point to. As always in 50s pulps, some modest age-toning to the newsprint paper pages, which remain fully supple. See scans. Very high grade condition for a periodical which often shows substantial wear from use. See scans. See the scanned image of the contents page for the articles herein, which cover such topics as Jadoo, Catherine de Medici, Visions, Blind Vision, Palmistry, Ghosts, Auras, Sacsahuaman (written by the now-legendary Morris K. Jessup), Clairvoyance, Hearing Magnetism, and of course much, much else, including the standard Departments, always engrossing in themselves, all on various other paranormal or inexplicable phenomena. Interior art and photography is largely uncredited. A piece of paranormal history, and an example of a unique branch of Americana, in very highly collectible condition. Please see scans. l52n
