Canadian printing. First published as a paperback original by Gold Medal in 1956, this one concerns a man who has begun to shrink, and shrink, and shrink, and -- well, you get the gist. A great story, brilliantly told (but this is Matheson, so what else would you expect?). Cover illustration depicts a tiny man facing down a giant spider, his only weapon a hat pin. Some slant, moderate edgewear, handling wear/impressions, crease to upper left portion of back cover.
