First Science Fiction book I ever bought in early 1970's. Me, being an idiot, lost it years ago. You, being a smart person, scanned it for posterity.

I also have one or two of those TTA books. Have to go raid the library. What fun- kept scanning book stores and doing chores around the house to earn a book. (Hardy Boys too at the time) Wonderful series, Perry Rhodan.

They published lots of posters which I had up on my walls when I was a boy. Years later, I tried to reconstruct the magazines from the scattered bits.

I've also dug out another very similar book, THE ALIEN WORLD, produced for Octopus Books (this was a Marks and Spencer exclusive imprint was it not?) in 1980 and written by one 'Professor Steven Eisler' - I suspect this may have been Cowley again! I don't see it mentioned at that website.

Others also signed occasionally (PE, B, PAJ) but others didn't (I don't recall Tony Roberts signing, for instance). It's a shame they didn't because so few paperbacks bothered to carry credits to cover artists.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12010426017572710283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32738097.post-23283477706585179232008-05-11T18:56:00.000+01:002008-05-11T18:56:00.000+01:00Beautifully presented Steve!
