Russian Space Rocket Ruins Vintage 1961 Cold War US Flight Gagarin War NASA

Description

Vintage April, 1961 issue of Analog Science Fact/Fiction magazine featuring an awesome Van Dongen cover graphic of two Russian men camping out by the ruins of a rocket or missile that was never launched. Ironically, Russian astronaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to orbit the earth that same month.
The magazine is about 5.5" x 7.5" and is in very good shape for a 60 year old pulp magazine. The cover has no tears, the spine is all there and very legible, the pages still tightly bound to the spine. The pages have moderate tanning and are still supple and not brittle. The book is very readable despite its age.
A great piece of history and a solid addition to any collection. Displays really well. I ship every day the post office is open with your item safely packed for protection.
