Powers" by Jane Frank, which is kind of unnecessary since it's neither expensive nor hard to get so I should just go ahead and buy it. Hmmm.<br /><br />Anyway, here's a wonderful flickr set of Powers covers:<br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/jlevar/sets/72157600100782664M.H.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413291183164140297.post-44508390690018036602012-10-22T13:31:35.079-07:002012-10-22T13:31:35.079-07:00That's actually a pretty decent tribute to Pow...That's actually a pretty decent tribute to Powers's style!JRSMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430775461763521797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413291183164140297.post-79922070548665663642012-10-22T01:16:25.898-07:002012-10-22T01:16:25.898-07:00Seen this?

I see Amazon have it fairly reasonably - especially for the number of novels included - so I'm sure I'll get around to it sometime...jbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08588733228882602884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413291183164140297.post-72346800614805692732012-10-14T21:42:28.075-07:002012-10-14T21:42:28.075-07:00I'd definitely say get it, if you can find a d...I'd definitely say get it, if you can find a decent price: 'The Space Merchants', 'More Than Human', 'The Long Tomorrow', 'The Shrinking Man', 'The Stars My Destination' and 'A Case of Conscience' are all genuinely great and important books. I'm unconvinced of the merits of Heinlein and Fritz Leiber can be very hit and miss, while Budrys's best, 'Rogue Moon', came later.JRSMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430775461763521797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413291183164140297.post-9984585326946335042012-10-14T17:11:45.964-07:002012-10-14T17:11:45.964-07:00Is the box worth getting?

I've seen it on the LoA website, but since I'm unfamiliar with all the stories (although I've heard of, but not read, most of the authors) I've been a bit unsure.<br /><br />I did love their noir collections, although I got them individually & thus missed out on the nice box they later made for them...jbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08588733228882602884noreply@blogger.com
