[QUOTE="gerhard1, post: 3349349, member: 5391"] Just curious, but what edition do you have? The first time I read WWC it was the first half and had been printed in the 1950's. This one was from my jr. high library, if memory serves. The second time I read it, it was from the '50's as well but this one had the sequel. It was from the public library. Both of these were hard-cover, BTW. Fast-forward to the 2000's, and I ordered the Bison edition from the U of Nebraska Press. It had both WWC and AWC. The only thing it lacked were the maps of Bronson Beta. A few years later, I went online to look for examples printed in the 1930's and found a few. They had the maps. In November, I'll be 70 and yet I still enjoy this story as much as I did when I first read it in the early 1960's. I'll let you in on a little secret: this story was what gave me the idea for my novel [I]The Pale Horse[/I]. Thank you Balmer and Wylie. [/QUOTE]
