 serialised as "fury" as by lawrence o'donnell astounding vol.39 #3, #4, #5; 5/1947, 6/1947, 7/1947
15 b+w illustrations by paul orban; 5 with each installment.

"lawrence o'donnell" was one of henry kuttner & c. l. moore's, and henry kuttner's, recognised pseudonyms.

 thankfully the 1981 second hamlyn paperbacks printing/edition used new, and far better cover art.

- our opening months' releases' covers were produced by the hamlyn publishing group's general books art department, who didn't have a clue about fiction paperback covers for trade distribution, let alone for sf (or fantasy) titles, as dennis either hadn't yet been employed as hamlyn paperbacks' art director, or hadn't yet had time to get the hamlyn paperbacks' art department up and running, when they were ah, "designed".

i still have a couple of proof copies of hamlyn publishing group designs that were rejected out of hand - from when the hpg board was still trying to insist hamlyn paperbacks be identified as hamlyn publishing group books, with an "HP" (small capital "p" on the lower right-hand leg of a large capital "h") - which invited comparison with a certain brand of breakfast sauce, canned spaghetti hoops - or baked beans!

 hamlyn paperbacks first printing, not first uk p/b edition:
both hamlyn paperbacks printings include groff conklin's 1950 1p. forward.

cover art unsigned, uncredited - as-yet still unattributed
cover price 80p, rep. of ireland 88p
208pp. including titles, indicia, nf introduction, etc

dreadful cover "art": but even so, this sold really well in bookshops whose buyers knew enough about sf to recognise the name "kuttner" from the golden age of sf°, and in the specialist sf bookshops including andromeda, as well as in the premier and original specialist sf, fantasy & horror uk bookshop, "dark they were and golden-eyed". (and no, no-one sfaiaa ever admitted to personal responsibility for the ah, sadly mistaken "new in paperback" strap-line. . .)

° - or, "the second golden age of sf" - ?
