Tight and square with flat spine. Age tanning is mild and uniform. No stamps, marks or writing - this is probably unread. I'm grading harshly because of noticeable rubbing wear on front and back (see scans.)

Stellar 1 - edited by Judy-Lynn del Rey. An original anthology - all stories new to this 1974 paperback. Judy-Lynn Benjamin was a SF fan, and editorial assistant at Galaxy/IF from 1969 to mid-1973; then she moved to Ballantine Books, where she was so successful they named the SF imprint Del Rey Books for her. (She married Lester Del Rey in 1971.) The line-up on this collection looks like a "who's who" of SF.
