These 9 volumes are ALL the Wyndham books published by Ballantine, and, to be clear, are ALL the first Ballantine paperback printings. Of the 9 volumes, 4 are also first edition paperback originals (Re-Birth, Chocky, Tales of Gooseflesh and Laughter, The Infinite Moment), the other 5 volumes had earlier UK hardcover editions. Several had simultaneous Ballantine hardcover printings. Lucas Parkes is listed as the co-writer of The Outward Urge, but, as Parkes is just another pseudonym, of Wyndham/Harris, he essentially wrote it with himself. Out of the Deeps (1953) has modest edgewear and is a near fine to fine unread copy. Re-Birth (1955) has some spine edgewear, an almost invisible corner crease, and is an unread near fine to fine copy. Gooseflesh and Laughter (1956) is an unread fine copy. Midwich Cuckoos (1958, Canadian printing) has a slight spine tilt, spine and reading creases, and is VG. Outward Urge (1959) has a reading crease but appers unread, a near fine copy. Trouble with Lichen (1960) is an unread fine copy. Infinite Moment (1961) has 2 bumps to the front cover top edge, appears unread, and is near fine. Chocky (1968) has very faint spine and reading creases, and is near fine. The much later (1986, Canadian printing, from Ballantine Del Rey) Day of the Triffids has edgewear, tiny corner creases, small back cover tear, former owner name inside, and is VG to VG+. A sharp, COMPLETE set of Wyndham Ballantine first paperback printings.. Later and/or First Printings. Mass Market Paperback. Near Fine. Illus. by Richard Powers, Robert E. Schulz, Paul Lehr, R.
