Here's a slide show of vintage covers to Science Fiction paperback novels of the 50's-70's. The music is by Man or Astro-Man from their brilliant "EEVIAC" album. Enjoy!

  • Nice job on assembling this collection. It surely describes the genre in that era--a time when a larger group of people were starting to dream forward, and envision both impossible and possible futures.

    Is this from your own collection?

  • No, many of the covers are borrowed from other collections. Thanks for the feedback!

  • Damn it .. I want them !!

  • love the music very original.

  • The sountrak is awful!!!

  • Cool new online community called Prehistoric Channel. They will be releasing several sci fi books this year.

    Just google Prehistoric Channel

  • Well done! Over the years, I've read quite a few of these and still enjoy good sc-fi stories, especially if they relate to things that could actually happen.

    A good new sci-fi by an Australian author is one such book called "The Coming".

    Signed first editions are available for AU$12.00 from davidbennett1@dodo.com.au

    It deals with terrorism, drugs etc. The end of the World is coming... Or is it? We are being watched!

  • I enjoyed the video. I recognize a few that I read, and several that I at least saw and contemplated reading. I miss the science fiction of the 'innocent', less informed days. When i was a kid growing up in the fifties I actually looked forward to helping colonize Venus. Oh, well. I still like those old sci-fi kid novels. I recently bought a box full of Heinlein's juvenile scifi books that I look forward to introducing to my grandsons.

  • sick music

  • I had a thing for the old shlock pulp-lit from years ago! (The stuff now is still SHLOCK... But now they try and pad it to make it look 'important'!) I own that one by Brian Aldiss. (My favorite writer of all time!) And I know I've read others. I especially miss the funky cover art! It was often silly... but it always grabbed your attention!

  • What I dislike the most are the abstract kind of art that really gets my teeth grinding.

  • At an extimate I have read 8 of these.

    I like the old pulp. Written in days, read in minutes. But why no "Vargo Statten"?
