And in the UK as:
One of my long-time favorites. Not to be confused (though I did for a moment) with Albro Gaul's The Complete Book of Space Travel, with its supremely wonderful Virgil Finlay illustrations. Does your collection include that one as well?

John,
ReplyDeleteI recall reading somewhere that the Maco was the original edition and that Gnome took a supply and had them hard bound. The Gnome is, of course, quite scarce.
