EDMONDSON, G.C. The Ship that Sailed the Time Stream/Stranger Than you Think New York, Ace Books, 1965.
8vo. Original printed wrappers; pp. 87 [2, ads], pp.167; very good, some creasing and minor foxing.
First edition. The first fantasy/science fiction offering by Edmondson, who also wrote westerns using the names Kelly P. Gast, J. B. Masterson, and Jack Logan. It became an instant classic - Ace Books would keep it in print for another two decades after its initial publication. A story about an experimental navy vessel thrown back a thousand years into the past during a storm, it was nominated for a Nebula award for Best Novel in 1965, but lost out to Frank Herbert's *Dune*. This is the first appearance of the novel, where it was paired with a collection of his short stories "Stranger Than You Think" as part of the Ace Double series. Ace Double M-109.
