Jacket illustration by Robert E. Hubbell. <I>Slan</B></I> was originally serialized throughout 1940 in <I>Astounding Science Fiction</B></I> magazine. This book, published by Arkham House six years later represents two firsts: Arkham House's first foray into the growing genre of science fiction, and van Vogt's very first publication in book form. As such, this is an essential part of any science fiction collection. The copy presented here is in fine condition, with only the most minor edge wear to the book and jacket. A great chance to begin or add to a great science fiction collection. <I>From the Ventura Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
