Books Update: Pint-sized Science Fiction
*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: Way back when, before e-books were even a gleam in a geek’s eye, many early Science Fiction books were published in ‘pocket book’ format, slightly shorter than a standard paperback so that they could be carried around easily. We have added a fine selection of these books, published by Corgi, Dell and Ace, and including several Ace Double books. Most date from the 1960’s, although Ace unhelpfully omitted dates of publication. Many had identifying codes, however, which are included in the listing. Many illustrious artists were enlisted to provide cover and internal art, so we have authors such as Ray Bradbury (The Golden Apples Of The Sun), Edgar Rice Burroughs (Cave Girl), Bertram Chandler (Empress Of Outer Space / The Alternate Martians), Rex Gordon (No Man Friday), Neil R Jones (Planet Of The Double Sub and The Sunless World), Charles Eric Maine (Crisis 2000 and Timeliner) and J H Rosny (Quest Of the Dawn Man) combined with artists such as Frazetta, Gaughan, Podwil and Morrow.
