“Bright earth-light floods moon landscape. Earth would appear four times as large as moon does to us.”
From the blurb on the dust jacket:
One minute, Learoy Spofford was a former American tennis champion, enjoying a visit to London with his lovely wife – the next minute he was a muscular savage on the weird world of Graypec, fighting for the possession of a primitive but beautiful blonde. Catapulted by a strange science into a universe existing within an atom, not knowing if he could ever return, Learoy finds himself involved in the greeds and lusts of primeval men and women at war with a crustacean form of life. Suspense builds through climax after climax to a finish which is as startling as the premise. This is the novel about which H. G. Wells said: “. . . I think it’s a very good story, indeed, of the fantastic scientific type and I was much amused and pleased to find myself . . . in it.”
“A Marsmobile of the future.”
Sixty-three years later and man's dream of tooling around Mars in a rover is still in the future. Who would have thought? Who is better equipped and qualified to explore the red planet, man or robot?
From the blurb on the dust jacket:
The news that the first artificial satellite had been shot into orbit electrified the world. The announcement that the Russians had sent up a Sputnik containing a live dog was even more astonishing. Scientists are pushing so rapidly toward the frontiers of outer space that every new move makes the headlines.
“Rockets, Satellites and Space Travel” is a completely revised edition of an extremely popular book first published under the title of “Rockets, Jets, Guided Missiles and Space Ships.” For this new volume Editor Willy Ley has provided the latest information to bring the story up to date.
After a brief review of the colorful history of rockets and their uses in ancient and modern warfare, the book describes simply and graphically the most recent experiments in space travel, including the launching of artificial satellites. There is an explanation of projected designs for space ships and space stations, and a fascinating description of an eventual trip to the moon. In addition, the book discusses the exciting possibility of establishing observatories on the moon and undertaking longer flights to the planets nearest the earth.
Jack Coggins has provided spectacular illustrations – many in full color – depicting all phases of the text. And there are many diagrams and charts to add to the reader’s complete understanding.
“Should delight all . . . interplanetary pioneers,” said “The New York Times” of the original edition. “A concise and well-informed account . . . could hardly be bettered,” commented the “Journal of the British Interplanetary Society.”
[Note: Russia shot the first artificial satellite into orbit on October 4, 1957 and sent up a Sputnik containing a live dog, Laika, on November 3, 1957]
“Rockets launched from ships’ boats in attack on Fort McHenry, Baltimore, 1814. Ladder slung from mast served as launching rack. Elevation was changed by raising or lowering ladder. A flint gunlock with a long lanyard touched off rocket fuse. Gunners wore leather jackets and hats as protection from blast.”
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there
Congreve rockets, designed by the British in 1804, were used in the attack on Fort McHenry.
“BUILDING THE SPACE STATION. The station is nearly finished and only some metal plates and fixtures still have to be attached.”
Earth imagined as a big, green marble! Due to an algae bloom, I suppose.
"Out of the Violence and Squalor of Chicago's North Side Comes a Great, Gripping Novel!" [From the back cover]
“A Realistic Novel of Today’s Youth”
“Here is a tough, realistic, yet sensitive novel of youth in the slums of a large American city. It is the hard-hitting story of the violent life and turbulent emotions of young ‘Lefty’ Bicek, of the pals who terrorized the streets with him, of the slick racketeers who preyed on him, of the girls he ran around with, and finally of Steffi who loved him and was betrayed by him.
“Nelson Algren’s remarkable novel is vibrant with the very flesh and agony of life. His vigorous description pitilessly outlines such characters as Casey Benkowski who was the gang’s chosen leader and who sold them out as a racketeer’s henchman – Chiney-Eye Helen who had burned her fingers with love and lived only to burn others in turn – Fireball Kodadek whom Lefty hated and to whom Lefty surrendered his girl without a struggle – and most unforgettable of all, pretty Steffi who had given Lefty her heart in exchange for a promise he couldn’t fulfill.
‘NEVER COME MORNING is a seriously powerful novel of life in the raw, penned in the blood of today’s youth, and packed with the relentless power of realism.” [From the Introduction]

Fifth Revised Edition. (Copyright 1907)
"Behind the Scenes With the Mediums" is one of the earliest books describing the methods of fraudulent psychics. Dr. A. M. Wilson thought it was "absolutely the best and most valuable work ever written and published on the expose of spiritualism." [The Sphinx, vol. 6, no. 7 (September 1907), page 780]
Dr. Wilson was the editor and owner of The Sphinx at the time, one of the most respected independent journals of the magical arts that ran from March 1902 to March 1953.

My entry to the varupolyse contest.
His name is Chewing Beaver, but everyone calls him the Rouge Savage. He came from America two weeks before the start of the varupolyse. Then, he was hurled from his holding cell by a massive explosion. He then ran off into the wild and started to thrive, making a stone axe, chopping lumber, and trading for a knife made of steel. Once he gained that asset, he began to kill. No one has been seen after an encounter with him since, but the first trader to find him is still alive.
