Description

A first edition of Dawn of Flame And Other Stories by Stanley G. Weinbaum.

  • Stanley G. Weinbaum (American).
  • New York: Rupert Printing Service, 1936. 
  • Octavo.

  • This copy has a letter on the front free end paper written by Frank Robinson in August of 1944 to early science fiction fan William Liebscher.
