Not too expensive either. Usually new repros like to get all their tooling costs back ASAP.

^ Amen to ACR's comments. I had no idea that that anyone was making a reproduction of that cover. Great find, Mr. Trumbo!

Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue, I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace. Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod, The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
