JF Ptak Science Books Quick Post Daily Dose of Dr. Odd
When can you get seven "complete books" into one volume...of 126pp? And be printed in a legible font? Well, you can't, really, even when you scream it on your own book--unless those books of course are really short stories, or really short stories. For example, Hubbard's "Message for Garcia" is complete but it is hardly a book at 400 words or so. How these short stories could have been offered for six bucks (in 1940) I don't know.
Actually the seven REAL books ("and others!" are reprinted in 105 pages--the last 21 pages are filled with psalms, the Gettysburg Address, "Gungda Din", "The Battle Hymn of the Republic", and ten others, to fill out the rest of the book.
In any event, I liked this little pamphlet for its odd design, "special" typeface, book titles, and color. Did I mention color?
