Flawed book covers

This is one of Heinlein’s older juveniles. Note the ninety-five cent price. It’s from this site that mocks some book covers, this one for the astronaut’s day-glo orange trousers. Hmm. Mr. B. and I enjoyed the tale as a bedtime story a few years ago, despite the tedious courtroom passages which weren’t near as funny as the author tried to make them.

  1. I don’t really remember The Star Beast – though I’m sure I would after a sentence or three, but I remember thinking how stupid the cover was – had little or no resemblence to the story.

    I always like the Conan covers, and the Gor illustrations were prolific fantasy generators. In more ways than one.

    I have a book from Amazon on my table. Should I wait for an inscribed copy, and return it, or proceed? Lost your email, dude. Yes, I am a bit incompetent.

    JD, I’ve emailed you with my address. I’ll get the inscribed copy off to you this weekend. No need to return the other. Pass it on to someone else who might be interested in it. Thanks.
