Vintage Christine, I was just blown away by the gift she sent me.
This ah-mazing pulp space paperback!
Perfect perfect for my space room/office!
The graphics on the cover are pure mid-century art, and the other reason why this is special, well, Christine knows. ;)
Christine, I thank you from the bottom of my heart! It brought a tear to my eye.

Now that's a wicked cool paperback. I was drawing those kinds of pictures as a kid on what was supposed to be my English and Math teachers. I should have probably studied a big harder...oh well
ReplyDeleteHa ha I was doing a lot of reading instead of studying too =)
ReplyDeleteThat would be English and math papers...I'd of been in a heap of trouble if I drew on the Teachers. When I was in School it was right to spank the kids. I did read a GREAT deal; it helped that my Mother was an English teacher but you wouldn't know that from my writing; sadly.
ReplyDeleteHa ha I doodled on a lot of the margins of my note paper all through school.
ReplyDeleteNo scrawling on teachers either lol....
Me too I read more than did my homework! I am a book a holic... I just love books.
ReplyDeleteBooks were my solace as a kid. And the library loaned them for free!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWas a huge deal when I was a kid of "modest means" growing up. =)
What a nice gift. I am totally guessing the guy in red getting shot was the (dun-dun-duuuh) Communist in the life of death race to the moon. Golf I remember during moon landings, lunar rover, MTV flag planting - yep. Gunfire, not so much.
ReplyDeleteI loved books as a kid too. My biggest thrill was when the bookmobile came to our school. I went to a brand new elementary school, and it didn't have a library yet, so the public library sent their portable library out to the school. That was so cool!
ReplyDeleteaaaahhhhh thats lovely ;-)) have a lovely weekend, dee x
ReplyDeleteThat is so fabulous, great graphics! What a lovely gift!
ReplyDeleteJust the fact that you have a space-themed room makes me like you a little more. What a neat book!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking that book would look good next to some Tom Swift and Hard Boys hardbacks.
ReplyDeleteNot a bad idea!
ReplyDeletecool! I found one for you too~ be sending it pronto~
ReplyDelete!!! You gals don't have to send me things, really! You and Christine are so adorable... !
ReplyDeleteThis is a tremendous pic! Love Sci-Fi and the style of this pic is tremendous! It doesn’t matter what the paperback says, the cover is tremendous!
ReplyDeleteThis picture is tremendous! Love Sci-fi and this picture is tremendous! It doesn’t matter what the book is like, the cover is tremendous!
ReplyDeleteThat book cover has such a nice, graphic, and pleasing image! I love it! Color me green with envy...
ReplyDeleteHehehe! I KNEW you would love it! I also have the entire original set of Tom Corbett, Space Cadet books on display in my book cabinet--they fit in well with all my other mid-century junk. They belonged to first husband too. I got my computer back finally and will do a post later today--yesterday was too full of rain and tornado watches!
ReplyDeleteThere you are! Glad you have your computer back, yay!
ReplyDeleteI do love the book, and still comb eBay auctions for other cool space additions...
I may have to make my own Apollo model to hang from the ceiling lol...
