I was in Chicago for a few days, during which my mail brought some nice old magazines of Heinlein. For starters, I received three issues of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction: the first installment of Have Space Suit--Will Travel in August 1958 with a beautifully detailed and plot-correct cover by Ed Emshwiller, an installment of The Door Into Summer from December 1956 with Kelly Freas cover, and the August 1957 issue with “The Menace from Earth” under a cover from someone named Barry Waldman.
In addition, I received two hard-to-find pulps with less-famous Heinlein stories: “Columbus Was a Dope” in the May 1947 issue of a Startling Stories splashily covered by the inimitable Earle Bergey, and the light fantasy tale “Our Fair City” in the May 1949 Weird Tales.
Then, as long as I was in a big city, I figured I'd poke around a couple of bookstores to see if I could find any Heinlein I didn‘t already have. Indeed I could: hardcovers of To Sail Beyond the Sunset and Requiem, which I had had only in paperbacks, plus more modern Glory Road and Red Planet. The prices were decent, so I picked ‘em up.
At last all are scanned, and all are posted to my Heinlein Cover Art galleries.
Enjoy!
