BOUND TO PLEASE BOOK TALK There are so many books of a fantastic nature currently appearing on the market that it would an arduous task indeed to try to review them all. I have selected a few of those which I consider of paramount interest to fandom for thumbnail outlines. Lack of space prohibits reviews of other late fantasy in bookform. THE LEGION OF SPACE - by Jack Williamson - Fantasy Press, P.O. Box 159, Reading Pa. - $3.00 postpaid. Williamson's famous space tale which first appeared in ASF in 1935 has been put between hard covers by the same publishers who did such a fine job on their initial effort, Dr. Smith's SPACEHOUNDS OF IPC. It is as beautiful an edition as any collector who is proud of his fantasy library would care to have on his eye-level shelf. There are four excellent illustrations placed appropriately throughout and they and the dust jacket, all the work of A.J. Donnell, enhance the book exceedingly. Don't miss this one, it is exceptionally well bound to please! THE MISLAID CHARM - by A.M. Phillips - The Prime Press, Box 2019, Middle City Sta., Philadelphia 3, Pa. - $1.75 postpaid. The first publication to come off the Prime Press is the best $1.75 worth to come your reviewer's way in many a moon. Profusely and superbly illustrated by Herschel Levit, and nicely printed, the book is excellent in its entire format. The story itself seems even more laugh-provoking today than when it first appeared in a 1941 issue of UNKNOWN. It is a collector's must, and a speculator's dream so I advise you to get it while there's still time. DARK CARNIVAL - by Ray Bradbury - Arkham House, Sauk City, Wisconsin - $3.00 postpaid. As this is written, Bradbury's first matchless collection is the latest windfall from Arkham House. It is the typical perfectionally flawless Arkham House offering which periodically graces our mail boxes. Any collector or fan, or layman, for that matter, who neglects to purchase ALL Arkham's books, should have what's left of his neck examined. Need I say more? WORLD AFLAME - by Leonard Engel and Emanuel S. Piller - The Dial Press, New York City - $2.00 at your bookseller. If you are a completest you'll want to add this sage of the Russian-American PAGE 7
