Stopped off at Curious Books in East Lansing today and picked up some old Hal Clement and L. Sprague de Camp that I had heard of but not yet read, along with Philip K. Dick’s Confessions of a Crap Artist, which I also need to read.
More apropos to this post, however, I picked up 6 nifty new Heinlein covers.
Four are novels: another variation of Darrell K. Sweet’s The Star Beast, a Steele Savage Tunnel in the Sky, a stylized British book club edition of The Door into Summer, and an uncredited The Moon is a Harsh Mistress that appears to be by the same artist who did a number of Heinlein covers for Berkley in the late ’60s.
Perhaps most enjoyably, I got both Ed Emshwiller covers for Starship Soldier, which is how Starship Troopers was serialized in F&SF. The October ’59 cover does not specifically depict Heinlein’s piece, but, as seen above, the November one sure does!
Enjoy,
Rafeeq
