New York: Abelard-Schuman, Inc, 1955. First American edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. SIGNED. 256pp. Octavo [21 cm] Pale green cloth-effect paper over boards. Extremities gently bumped and rubbed; covers a trifle cocked; small stain to foot of text block. In the illustrated dust jacket, with a large 2" creased and chipped closed tear to the bottom edge of the front panel. There is also a 1" slash to the surface of the front panel. Else, the jacket is a bit rubbed, and the spine is subtly sunned (title still bold). The sequel to "Flying Saucers Have Landed." Polish-American George Adamski (1891-1965) was heavily involved in the California occult scene of the early twentieth century. Before delving into flying saucers, Adamski created the Royal Order of Tibet religious movement in which he was a philosopher-guru.
A first edition of Adamski's own story of what has happened to him since he wrote his best-selling book "Flying Saucers Have Landed," in which he described the memorable day in November of 1952, when he first made personal contact with a man from another world, and was able, nearly a month later, to make photographs within 100 feet of the very saucer that had brought his original visitor. These photographs went on to become world famous. In "Inside the Space Ships," Adamski provides 16 photographs and illustrations of great space ships from which flying saucers are launched. The lion's share of these photographs was taken in April, 1955, and neither the photographs nor a description of them has been published up until this book. To this day, George Adamski continues to be one of the most extraordinary and controversial figures in UFO history.
