Two Dust Jackets for The Green Hills of Earth
<B>Original Unfolded Dust Jacket and Virtually Unfolded Two-Color Test Print Dust Jacket for Robert Heinlein's <I>The Green Hills of Earth</B></I>.</B></I> These dust jackets represent the second collaboration between Heinlein and Shasta Publishers, and the unfolded finished dust jacket was intended to protect the first edition of <I>The Green Hills of Earth,</B></I> published in 1951. Each measures approximately 20.75" x 8.25". As with both of the other Heinlein-Shasta publications, this dust jacket was illustrated by Hubert Rogers. The finished dust jacket is unfolded and in near mint condition, with minute staining on the rear panel. The two-color test print is in very good condition, with folds at the rear panel-spine fold, minimal bottom edge wear, and a diagonal crease to the front panel. Still, an incomplete state of a Heinlein jacket is rare in any condition. This is a truly remarkable pair of dust jackets.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Miscellaneous Collectibles, Smal (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
