Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. The Story & Significance Edward E. "Doc" Smith, the "Father of Space Opera," expanded his legendary Lensman universe with The Vortex Blaster (1960). This fix-up novel compiles stories originally published in Comet and Astonishing Stories (1941-1942), centered on Neal "Storm" Cloud, a specialist tasked with the suicidal mission of neutralizing uncontrolled atomic vortices. Unlike the grand galactic wars of the main series, this volume offers a more localized, procedural look at the dangers of nuclear power in the Lensman era. For collectors, it represents one of the final hardcover releases from the prestigious Gnome Press before its eventual dissolution. Physical Description & Provenance Binding: Original light blue cloth boards with yellow-stamped spine lettering. This is the first state binding , as identified in the Currey bibliography. Boards are square with sharp corners; the blue cloth remains vibrant. Dust Jacket: Features original wrap-around artwork by W.I. Van der Poel . The jacket is unclipped ($3.00 price intact) and is now protected in a new archival Mylar sleeve. Internal State: First Edition, First Printing (one of approximately 3,000 copies). The binding is tight and the hinges are fully intact. Condition Note (Text Block): This copy exhibits significant tanning/darkening to the text block edges and internal pages. This is a common point of issue for this specific title, as Gnome Press utilized high-acid, lower-grade paper stock during their 1960 production run. Points of Issue: Stated "First Edition" on the copyright page with the Hicksville, NY imprint. The presence of the blue/yellow cloth combination confirms this as the earliest trade state. Collector's Note: The blue cloth variant of The Vortex Blaster is the most sought-after state for Gnome Press completists. While the text block shows the typical browning associated with late-stage Gnome Press paper, the exterior presentation of this copy is exceptional. The Van der Poel jacket has escaped the heavy spine-sunning that usually affects this title, making it a beautiful "shelf-copy." This represents a rare opportunity to own the first state of a "Doc" Smith cornerstone.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. "First Edition" on its copyright page, and publisher's original "$3.00" price on its jacket's front flap. Currey "priority (A)" binding: "blue boards, spine lettered in yellow". This book is in near fine condition, marred only by light bumps on its covers' spine ends and front bottom corner. Its binding is sound and square, with no spine crease. Covers are unmarked and otherwise unworn. Pages are unmarked and unworn, with some normal light toning around their edges. Its dust jacket, now protected by a removable mylar cover, is also in near fine condition: whole, bright and unmarked, with some thin scrapes down its spine, two tiny holes in its back flap fold, and faint traces of wear on the ends of its spine and flap folds. I will ship this book in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble cushion, inside a sturdy box to assure it reaches its new owner in the same condition as my description.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Neal "Storm" Cloud failed his Lensman exam, but life has a strange way of making hero of even those who sometimes fail. Cloud's family is tragically killed when a misguided attempt to blow out a vortex lands one of the fragments right on his house. Devastated by the loss of his family, Cloud takes a leave of absence from the Radiation Lab where he works studying the vortices. As he drives he is struck with an idea for "blowing out" a vortex. It is slightly technical (Smith explains it so it can be easily followed), but the general idea is that Cloud's brain works so fast that he can calculate exactly where the center of the vortex will be at a moment in time and how big an explosive is needed, then hit it with a bomb that is set at the exact strength to actually extinguish the vortex instead of blowing it apart and making more vortices. As it continues the book tells of Cloud's new job as the universe's one and only vortex blaster. This job takes him from planet to planet where he blows out vortices, matches wits against drug dealers and gangsters, meets new life forms, and acquires a crew for his small scout ship. His adventures are many and varied, and the lifeforms he meets are strange and interesting. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
