BALLARD, J. G. New Worlds Science Fiction No. 65 (signed)
CARNELL, John [ed.] New Worlds Science Fiction No. 65, Volume 22. London: Nova Publications. 1957. 8vo. Softcover wraps. Signed by J. G. Ballard to contents page. James White (Sector General) and Alan Barclay (To Percy) provide novelettes, plus short stories by Ballard (Manhole 69), Donald Malcolm (Defence Mechanism), and Bertram Chandler (The Half Pair), plus other articles and pieces. The spine wrinkled with abrasions to foot and head, corners a little creased. Binding rolled but sound. Light toning within but clean.
The first appearance of Ballard’s peculiarly titled ‘Manhole 69’, reprinted only in his Complete Short Stories (2006). The story involves an experiment on three uninitiated test specimens whereby their ability to sleep is removed, with catatonic effect. James White’s lead story is an equally riveting pacifist space opera. Scarce with Ballard’s signature.
