About This Item
C3a: Gnome Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1953. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Hardcover. 8vo. Published by The Gnome Press, Inc. , New York. 1953. 210 pgs. First Edition/First Printing. Rik Binkley DJ has shelf-wear present (light shelfwear present to the crown of the DJ spine). Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities (light sunning present to the spine, light stain present to the bottom edge of the boards). No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. The Big Blow-up left huge radioactive sores (the graves of cities) all over the face of the Earth. In time, from some of the women who had been near these shunned areas, the first totally hairless babies began to be born. Their difference was not at first noticeable. But eventually, they became known as "Baldies," with another new and terrifying difference: the Baldies were telepathic! From then on they were hated by normal humans, and sometimes hunted like animals. These five stories are the saga of their struggle for survival and their desperate search to find a safe means to give the power of telepathy to humans, so both kinds might live peacefully side-by-side. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .
