Nicky has a knack of finding the most fascinating books hidden away in charity shops, car boot sales or old book stores.This is one of them, Theodore Sturgeon's sci-fi classic Venus Plus X.
Nora hasn't has a chance to read it, but plans to on an upcoming camping trip.
This edition is a first edition paperback from 1960. Just take a look at the front and back covers - fabulous. The artwork was done by Victor Kalin who created vivid book cover work, some of which can be found here.
Particularly fond of the precis text: "Charlie Johns woke up... and nearly went mad".
Yeah, we've all had mornings like that.
