New York: Experimenter Publishing. New York, Experimenter Publishing, 1925. First edition, first impression. Paperback. A very good copy. An early Gernsback magazine.

The magazines are of course tricky to come by, but this is in excellent condition. Science and Invention was previously called The Electrical Experimenter, but Gernsback was associated with other similar magazines such as Modern Electrics and Radio News.
