An exceptional, beautifully preserved first printing showcasing the rare speculative vision of a mid-century master.
While globally celebrated as the titan of hardboiled noir and the creator of the Travis McGee series, John D. MacDonald possessed a profound, brilliant mastery of science fiction. Other Times, Other Worlds stands as a highly crucial retrospective, anthologizing 16 of his finest, mind-bending speculative stories originally published between 1948 and 1968. From the unsettling alien psychological thriller "Ring Around the Redhead" to the chilling, military-grade telepathy explored in "A Child Is Crying," this collection showcases MacDonald's signature razor-sharp prose applied to the infinite boundaries of alternate dimensions and cosmic frontiers.
This pristine archival copy is a True First Edition, First Printing, verified by the unbroken number line on the copyright page. Released in 1978 under the legendary Fawcett Gold Medal imprint, it features a stark, deeply atmospheric typographic cover centered around an oval window peering into a rich, full-color deep space nebula. Finding early Fawcett sci-fi anthologies preserved in this sharp state is an extreme rarity, making it a cornerstone acquisition for collectors of mid-century speculative literature.
Condition Notes
  • Overall Profile: Very Good Plus (VG+). A remarkably clean, well-cared-for copy that has been gently read but retains immense structural integrity.
  • Cover: Radiantly bright with deep, even orange tones. Displays only minor, natural shelf rubbing along the edges and zero deep creases or heavy corner bumping.
  • Spine: Structurally square, tight, and exceptionally well-preserved for a read copy. The text block remains firm and squared without the heavy roll typical of vintage paperbacks.
  • Interior: Flawless. Pages are completely clean without any private library stamps, marginalia, or corner folds. Shows a gorgeous, uniform, light cream age-toning typical of vintage Fawcett paper stock.
