Today in the mail came a lovely old hardcover of Starman Jones I had ordered. Although the novel was published in 1953, this particular copy dates from at least 1958, as the listing of Heinlein’s work on the inside includes Have Space Suit—Will Travel. I doubt it’s any later, though. The thing is beautifully illustrated by Clifford N. Geary, not only with the richly colored cover art but also with a whopping 7 black-and-whites inside.
This old high school library text has had solid use over the years, but it was specifically made for hard duty, and the binding allowed me to scan the interiors very fully, in a way a paperback would not have. After a couple hours of work, everything is scanned, saved, and posted to the “Scribner’s YA/Juveniles” page of my Heinlein cover art.
Enjoy!
