London Trip 2, SKOOB BOOKS, New Arrivals



More goodies from Skoob books.

I loved Niven's Gil Hamilton of ARM short stories, so I was 
excited to find he had done a novel. But I found it overly 
complicated for the length, with a poorly developed ending. 
But this Orbit edition has a great cover by Peter Jones.


A version of the full wrap-around cover photographed by 
the Unsubscriber can be found here.



The City of the Sun. 1980 cover by Tim White


I have read Shaw excellent short story "Light of Other Days"
so I grabbed this book on "slow Glass", cover uncredited.


How could I resist, Dick and a tentacled horror, 
cover by Gino d'Achille.


This copy of the Star Surgeon which Helen found for me, 
has a great but uncredited cover illustration. 


I loved everything about these two Pan editions, especially
the covers which are sadly uncredited.




No matter where I go Frank is there. 
The Dragon in the Sea, NEL 1969, cover Bruce Pennington.



Wrap-around version; 

I was hoping I might find copies of Ian Miller's covers for 
Lovecraft's books but I am very happy with this Herbert.
The Unsubscriber has published a number of posts
on his love for the cover art of Ian Miller. This link
contains a photo of the full wrap-around version of this title.
