Reader Reviews
This book falls short as a reference book or a price guide although the pictures are nice. Of the 1000+ paperbacks in my collection from the 40's through the 60's, I found 47 in this book. No publisher fared well but Ace Books seemed particularly unrepresented. Authors such as Anderson, Norton, Nourse, Silverberg, Leinster are either absent or barely mentioned. I wasn't expecting a rigorous compendium but I didn't like the sampler found here. Anyone know of a GOOD price guide?
