Hardcover book club edition, with first printing code "K 16" (April 1980) on bottom of page 185. Book and jacket are in very good condition. The book is marred only by spine lean and light wear on its spine ends. Its binding is sound. Pages are unmarked and unworn. Its dust jacket, now protected by a removable mylar cover, is marred only by a corner-clipped front flap, traces of wear on its front spine fold, and some faint soiling on its white back, but otherwise bright, whole, and unmarked. I will ship this book in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure it reaches its new owner in the same condition as my description.

This book is in almost Near Fine condition and has a Very Good+ dust jacket. The book and its contents are in clean, bright condition. The text pages are clean and bright. There is some light foxing / ground-in dirt to the top edge of the text block. The dust jacket is mostly crisp and clean, with some very light ground-in dirt. There is a small semi-closed edge tear to the bottom edge of the rear "Wellman wrote two science fiction novels in the sixties Island in the Sky and also Candle of the Wicked (1960) ; which novelized the events leading up to the discovery of the Bender killings. His Captain Future novel The Solar Invasion was reprinted in paperback. However his best-known series dates from this period and comprises stories featuring the Appalachian woodsman and minstrel hero known as "John". These were first published in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. The first stories of John were collected in Who Fears the Devil? (1963) , based on the personal enthusiasm of August Derleth. Although Wellman only ever called the character "John" or "John the guitar picker", his later publishers Doubleday and Dell labelled the series Silver John as they felt the name was a better way of marketing the books.
