This is one of several illustrated science fiction and fantasy magazines from the late 1970s, none of which lasted very long. The very thin, modest quality paper used in this magazine, was in part to mimmic the pulps of old. Unfortunately, use of this paper not only contributed to the short life of the magazines, it has resulted in age darkening of the page edges, since. Nonetheless, my copies of these magazines are very clean and sound. Because of the white border on this cover, it does show more smudging than the others.
All have been stored, flat, in boxes, for many years. For this sale I have placed each issue in a plastic bag with cardboard stiffening. They were not stored in bags, so age darkening of pages has occurred. I will not describe minutia on the condition of each issue in these auction ads, but will respond to any questions about specific issues that I receive by email.
Over the years, I dreamed of retiring to a house built to be a great library. As retirement approaches with alarming speed, I realize I now have different ideas of how I want to live. I am selling these magazines so they may be enjoyed by someone else, perhaps you.
Prompt payment results in prompt shipping. You will receive an invoice by email within 24 hours of the end of auction (or your Buy It Now purchase). Unless I have received other instructions by email, I will ship all items within two days after your payment is received.
My default shipping is by priority mail in the US. That would be $4.00 per issue. Save big on shipping when buying many issues. I can ship 1 to 4 (maybe 5) issues for the same $4.00, and 5 to 20 issues for $8.00. Please send me an email after you win your first auction, if you plan to bid on more and would like combined shipping. I will wait up to a week before shipping, if requested. Upon email request, I will also ship by media mail (which can be even cheaper, especially for small numbers of issues, but can take much longer to arrive). Insurance is optional, but available at $1.30 for the first $50. I do ship internationally on occasion, but you must email me, and have a good feedback rating. For a few magazines, shipping is generally around $US 8.00 to Europe, $US 7.00 to Canada and Mexico.
If the magazines do not arrive in the condition I have described, I will cheerfully refund your purchase price, but not shipping; however, you must return the magazine(s) to me, at your expense, first.
I prefer Paypal, but accept cashiers checks, money orders or personal checks (which must clear before I ship), or Western Union Bidpay for international orders. If no payment and no communication occur before one week (7 days), I will relist the item and enter a non-paying bidder report to Ebay.
Remember, your bid is your contract, and this is internet time, so no one expects to wait around very long.
