1953 1st. 1953, 1st Edition. Hardcover. Book, Illustrated by John T. Brooks. Reading, PA: Polaris Press, 1953. First edition, one of 1,500 numbered copies. First published in "Argosy" in 1915, "The Abyss of Wonders" mixes Theosophy and superscience in this tale of a lost race in the Gobi Desert. The second of two publications by Polaris Press, representing Lloyd Arthur Eshbach's attempt to publish some noteworthy and neglected science fiction tales that did not seem to fit into his Fantasy Press program. Chalker and Owings assert that, despite the statement on the limitation page, only 990 copies of this book were printed. Some very mild wear along the spine of the dust jacket; otherwise an especially crisp and clean copy in the publisher's slipcase, which is faded and somewhat edgeworn. Chalker, J. & M. Owings: Science-Fantasy Publishers, p.350. /Dust Jacket Included.
