JimEss SUBS 22nd Jan 2022		Book Hans Werner Richter - Beyond Defeat (1957)	Translator not credited. But since this references the G. P. Putnam hardcover copyright, the translator is Robert Kee.
JimEss SUBS 20th Jan 2022		Book Groff Conklin - 4 For The Future (1959)	Added covers and table of contents.
JimEss SUBS 17th Jan 2022		Book James H. Schmitz - The Telzey Toy And Other Stories (1982)	Added covers.
JimEss SUBS 25th Dec 2021		Book Bob Shaw - Ground Zero Man (1971)	Added covers. A bit of the artist's name does show up on this copy at the lower left. About half visible and the rest chopped off.
JimEss SUBS 21st Dec 2021		Book Raymond Z. Gallun - People Minus X (1958)	Cover added.
JimEss SUBS 21st Dec 2021		Book Robert Silverberg - Lest We Forget Thee, Earth (1958)	Cover added.
JimEss SUBS 17th Dec 2021		Book Mel Jay - Orbit One (1970)	Added covers.
JimEss SUBS 13th Dec 2021		Book James E. Gunn - The Immortals (1962)	I've added the covers. Mine is likely the 1st printing, but I think the 1st and 2nd printings are identical.
JimEss SUBS 11th Dec 2021		Book Maxim Gorky - 26 Men And A Girl (1957)	I've added the contents page and asked for a title change. Searching the internet reveals the stories were taken from various sources. The title story is from the UK 1902 edition on Duckworth, and can be found here. At least two of the others can be found at Project Gutenberg and are from US ediitons with different translators. So the editor and his/her assistants must have had some fun tracking these early volumes down. New York Public Library? Columbia University? Bookstores? I can't recall ever eating a kringel.
JimEss SUBS 10th Dec 2021		Book Robert Silverberg - One Of Our Asteroids Is Missing (1964)	Cover added.
JimEss SUBS 4th Dec 2021		Book Melinda M. Snodgrass - Final Circuit (1988)	Added covers.
JimEss SUBS 12th Nov 2021		Book Eando Binder - Night Of The Saucers (1974)	Added cover images.
JimEss SUBS 10th Nov 2021		Book William Rotsler - Patron Of The Arts (1974)	Covers added. 224 total pages, 210 numbered.
JimEss SUBS 3rd Oct 2021		Book Tom Godwin - Beyond Another Sun (1971)	Added covers.
JimEss SUBS 18th Sep 2021		Book Roger Nimier - The Blue Hussar (1956)	Close up it looks like Zuckerberg to me.
JimEss SUBS 12th Sep 2021		Book Ivan Howard - 6 And The Silent Scream (1963)	Added covers.
JimEss SUBS 4th Sep 2021		Book Brian Aldiss - Starship (1963)	Covers added for 2nd printing.
JimEss SUBS 31st Aug 2021		Book Holly Lisle - Fire In The Mist (1992)	Covers added.
JimEss SUBS 20th Aug 2021		Book Anna Hunger - The Man Who Lived Forever (1956)	Unrelated to the time frame within this story.
JimEss SUBS 19th Aug 2021		Book Anna Hunger - The Man Who Lived Forever (1956)	Added the cover. The artwork is a bit of a stretch here, since the story takes place almost entirely indoors. Perhaps sometime in the distant past....
JimEss SUBS 16th Aug 2021		Book J. F. Bone - The Lani People (1962)	Review Despite the provocative cover art this is not a sexploitation novel. Jac Kennon, space sailor veteran from the planet Beta and recently graduated veterinarian, signs a five-year contract to work for a large commercial farm business in a remote area of the planet Kardon. He doesn't know that this includes a remnant of original Kardon inhabitants called Lani, who despite being intelligent and looking like humans, except for having tails, were declared animals centuries ago. The males are bred for aggressiveness and are kept separate from the docile females. The Lani do not like or wear clothes. Eventually, Jac and his witty Lani secretary Copper Glow, whose tail has been "docked," fall for each other. Worried about "bestiality," Jac avoids her until they discover that the Lani are descended from Christian missionaries who crash-landed on the planet long ago. The tails had to have been a later mutation. When she becomes pregnant, they plan their escape. The book is well-written and the dialogue intelligent. There is a bit of hard science, mostly in the medical area, but not too much action. The conflicts arise from moral choices. A good, short, readable novel typical of its era. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
JimEss SUBS 30th Jul 2021		Book Stanley G. Weinbaum - The New Adam (1969)	Added covers.
JimEss SUBS 25th Jul 2021		Book John Le Carré - The Little Drummer Girl (1984)	Added the stepback artwork.
JimEss SUBS 25th Jul 2021		Book David Brin - The Postman (1986)	Added the artwork page.
JimEss SUBS 26th Jun 2021		Book Frederik Pohl - The Way The Future Was (1978)	Added covers.
JimEss SUBS 17th Jun 2021		Book John Christopher - When The Tripods Came (1988)	Ex-library book from an elementary school. This still has the last borrower card in the rear pocket, and was checked out by about an equal number of boys and girls.
JimEss SUBS 17th Jun 2021		Book Murray Leinster - Fight For Life (1949)	Added covers.
JimEss SUBS 8th Jun 2021		Book Hal Clement - Through The Eye Of A Needle (1978)	Thanks ppint. I'll refer back to this the next time I add a Del Rey book. I may have added some incorrectly in the past. The publisher lists do not currently display cat#s (unlike 45cat) which makes it burdensome having to jump around from book to book, if a check is needed for purposes like this, or for help in dating books by certain publishers like Curtis Books.
JimEss SUBS 8th Jun 2021		Book Hal Clement - Through The Eye Of A Needle (1978)	Added cover images. Del Rey may be the more accurate choice for publisher on this one.
JimEss SUBS 3rd Jun 2021		Book Eando Binder - Secret Of The Red Spot (1971)	Added covers.
