About This Item

Los Angeles: Fantasy Publishing, 1949. Near Fine in a Very Good dustjacket. Bound in full brown cloth. The spine is stamped in dark brown. Octavo. 192pps. There is light shelfwear including mild bumping to the spine-ends, otherwise overall clean, tight, square, and bright. No previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, has shallow chipping at the extremities as well as toning and a soil-mark on the rear panel; the original price is intact. A nice copy.
"...Recounts the mystery of the arrival on Earth of a space ship from a distant planet, bringing strange creatures whose tremendous knowledge has made possible travel across the star-ocean. When the interplanetary ship, which has buried itself deep into the desert sands of Arizona, is recovered by the tireless work of engineers, Professor Brandon discovers inside the space vessel the Stellarites, encased in containers in a state of suspended animation. Here then is the secret of space travel...but can our scientists untangle the mystery of suspended animation? In attempting this, Doctor Farrington, the leading medical authority, places his own son in the death-like state but finds he cannot release either his son or the Stellarites from the mantle of sleep. A further complication is the discovery of parchment writings in the Stellar Missile telling the purpose of the visit..."

Terms of Sale

Nooks Of Books


Payment Methods Accepted:
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover Card, and checks or money orders made out to Jeffrey C. Wright. You can also, if you like, make your payment -- credit card or bank transfer -- through Paypal.com (Acct name: nooksofbooks@comcast.net).

Grading:
Dealers who are otherwise members of prestigious bookselling organizations should know that you can\'t grade a book Fine if it\'s remaindered; nor can a dustjacket be graded Fine that is price-clipped. And yet we see this sort of thing -- more and more -- and from all manner of establishments. It reflects poorly on the industry.
Thus, we recommend that any prospective online customer insist on a thorough description (such as are issued through these Nooks) for any collectible item. We\'re well-versed, here, in the grading process and we do so fairly if not conservatively.

Refunds:
We understand all too well the hesitancy of some collectors to make their purchases online, particularly in such cases where books are scarce or costly. We, therefore, stress the integrity in these Nooks. Your satisfaction is guaranteed, or all costs you\'ve incurred will be refunded -- no questions asked -- providing the book is returned to us in the same condition within two weeks.

Shipping:
Though most booksellers are quite professional and know how to properly handle their wares, I\'ve noticed (being a book-buyer, too) that many online shops can be slipshod and amateurish in their shipping practices. This being so, we\'d like to assure you: when you buy from us the item will be nicely and securely presented. It will be gift-wrapped, sealed in a plastic bag to protect it against water damage, encased in bubble wrap and/or foam \'peanuts\' and boxed. We ship books out the way we like to receive them. Except, perhaps, in the rare occasion of an inexpensive reading copy, I\'d not think of consigning a book from these Nooks to the hard knocks of the postal system in a simple bubble-mailer. You won\'t get that shoddy handling here.

Insurance:
It is our policy to pay the insurance for any purchase over $200.00. Should you like to provide your own insurance for less of a sum, the cost is $1.30 for $50.00 of coverage, $2.20 for $100.00, and $3.20 for up to $200.00 of coverage. Insurance, in such cases, is suggested (simply state your preference in the comments segment during checkout) as we cannot be responsible for books that are lost in transit.
