Eight illustrated plates, including the frontispiece. Publisher's tan cloth covers with the front cover illustrated and lettered in green. The spine is lettered in green. Personal ex-libris bookplate affixed to the front pastedown endpaper. Some rubbing to the covers, very small discolored spotting to the covers, very slight bowing to the covers, very light bumping to the corners and head and foot of the spine, a small notation on the front free endpaper. Altogether a very good copy. Somewhat satirical in his writing style, Stanton Arthur Coblentz (1896 - 1982) was a prolific author and poet. This work represents his first published novel.

Illustrated dust jacket designed by Jack Gaughan. Lightly bumped corners, some rubbing to the jacket, slightly sunned jacket spine, a small portion of the bottom right jacket corner has torn off the jacket and is stuck to the corner of the cover, a small crease to the front inner flap of the jacket. Altogether a very good copy. This highly imaginative and vivid work visualizes a far future ruled by insects, and was originally published in the Spring 1929 Amazing Stories magazine. [and:] The Planet of Youth. Los Angeles: Fantasy Publishing Company, Inc., [1952]. First edition, first binding. Octavo. 71 pages. Publisher's maroon boards with the spine lettered in white. Gilt illustrated dust jacket designed by Walter. Some rubbing to the covers and jacket, some very tiny closed tears to the head and foot of the jacket spine, some creasing to the top edge of the jacket, price clipped, tiny notation on the front free endpaper. Altogether a very good copy. Venus is the Planet of Youth, a utopian place that compels people to go to extreme measures to gain access to this seemingly perfect world.Auction Info
