Collects two novellas, "Waldo" (ASTOUNDING, 1942) and "Magic, Inc." (UNKNOWN, 1940). "'Waldo' concerns a sick young engineer who is obliged to live in the weightless conditions of an orbiting satellite in order to compensate for his wasted muscles -- but from there he is able to solve several of Earth's problems. (Real-life remote-control manipulation devices have been named 'waldoes' after the hero of this story.) The other piece. 'Magic, Inc.,' is an enjoyable fantasy about a world where magic is taken for granted." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. [407].

Heinlein, Robert. WALDO & MAGIC, INC. / *** ASSOCIATION COPY ***. Doubleday, 1950.

Price: US$2952.25 + shipping

Description: *** ASSOCIATION COPY ***WALDO & MAGIC, INC., Doubleday, 1950, lst ed., near fine in vg/vg+ color pictorial dust-wrapper save for some soiling to the rear dust-wrapper panel. SIGNED by the author. Scarce thus. Formerly fellow science fiction writer Hal Clement's copy with his bookplate on the f.p.d. Nice association thus. Also, arguably the book that lead to the JEDI / STAR WARS PHILOSOPHY. Read WALDO in this Doubleday edition, page 76 line 31 through page 77 line 22 and then debate the justification for the above statement. Or----better yet; ask George when he read this !!!
