MCLEOD WINSOR, G. Station X
MCLEOD WINSOR, G. Station X. Philadelphia and London: Lippincott. n.d. 1919. 317pp. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s original red cloth with gilt lettering to spine and upper board, in the dust jacket. A scarce Bleiler-listed science fiction fantasy thriller about a psychic invasion by Lunarians who have seized Mars is repelled by an Earth-Venus alliance. "World peril and imaginary war against the background of Marconi's experiments and 'The Crystal Egg' by H. G. Wells." (Bleiler). A very good copy, the cloth faded at spine, slightly marked at board extremities. Binding tight and square, just starting to rear hinge, minor. The contents clean with some very light toning throughout and a few instances of light scattered foxing to prelims. The scarce dust jacket with several chips, nicks and tears along most edges, joints rubbed and nibbled at, spine wrinkled and perhaps professionally reinforced, though perhaps not. Priced at $1.50 net to spine panel. A nice example of a scarce and important work of fantasy science fiction.
