Books Update: A Fine Pair Of Crests
*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: Crest books were launched by Fawcett Publications in 1955 as a means of getting round a deal that prevented them from reprinting paperbacks of their own for over a decade. Most of the titles were Crime or Western, Peanuts or the US Dennis the Menace, but a few Science Fiction titles were issued as well. We have two of these, Hugo Gernsback’s classic Ralph 124C 41+ and Edmond Hamilton’s The Star Of Life. Both are enhanced by wonderful and distinctive cover art by Richard M Powers.
