Vintage fantasy science fiction pulp magazine Famous Fantastic Mysteries June 1948
Contains a short story by Jack London - "The Shadow and the Flash". Cover art by Virgil Finlay. Spine is solid, no loose or folded pages, no writing internally, no torn pages. The front cover has good color but shows significant edge wear all around. The back cover has fairly large losses at the outer and bottom edges - see images for details. Internally the book is bright and nice, pages are perhaps lightly tanned, but they are not brittle or flaking. Overall, an "ok" copy, not an upgrade for sure, but can fill in a blank spot in a collection. Great cover art by one of the masters of the era. See the accompanying images for table of contents & full condition details. Will ship promptly, carefully packaged.
