Description
Robert A. Heinlein Signet Gift Pak – 5 Paperback Titles, in Original Slipcase. Revolt in 2100; The Man Who Sold the Moon; The Menace From Earth; Double Star; The Puppet Masters. Signet # PR1253. A very rare Heinlein gift pack by Signet / New American Library, sold in 1982. Near Fine paperback books, showing only inevitable age-toning over the years, in a Very Good slipcase with corners rubbed. See scans. Five 12mo size books, with, respectively, 192 pp, 267 pp, 189 pp, 128 pp, 175 pp. See scans of books. All of these titles were first published in paperback by Signet in the 1950s, so the contents of the Gift Packs sold in1982 are later printings of the first paperback editions.Three of the five titles, on their copyright page, refer to themselves as first printings, but the number lines on those same copyright pages indicate otherwise. That, of course, had to be the case by 1982, some thirty years later. The first printings of the Signet editions were all within 1-3 years of the hardcover first editions, as applicable. An extraordinarily hard to find gift set for the Heinlein collector. Ships in stout protection, of course. See all scans. L11
