Makes sense, and yes It’s not copyright on the bottoms my bad.

I guess the confusing thing is, I always assumed the spine was the current publisher, so why Fawcett, instead of Ballentine.

And in the end it’s saying this is based on the first edition of Fawcetts? Would there be any printings from their later editions? Not asking about in general as I assume it’s per book, but for this one specifically do you know?

The edition printing is hard enough to figure out sometimes -.- no standard system and sometimes they just randomize the numbers for fun!

Hrmm, I’ve got a good selection of short story compilations, I’ll have to see if her name pops up on any. My last collection spree I grabbed a bunch of I think it was “Hugo” winners? I’ll check when I get home though. Know if she made any winner lists?

I like using the short story compilations and finding authors, it’s how I selected Asimov, Heinlein and Silverburg so far. I’ve also got some of their compilations they’ve done since they are named.

I feel like Asimov is cheating since he had his own publication journal. Lots of lists he’s made.

Ah! I was telling my brother how Heinlein couldn’t seem to complete a thought without going on a tangent. But for CHAPTERS! Hah I love it.

I’ve noticed this is kinda common in scifi, it’s a chance for people to bloviate about their profession or hobby. So yeah there’s a lot of side quests.

The incest is heavy at then start, and the pedo has kinda maybe been there in his previous writing? He seems to like the “smaller” and more “meek” women in his stories, but I’ve only read a few so far.

Basically it’s a father daughter and two other people who almost had a thing, and they don’t care about flaunting stuff around.

And Deety has stated she wouldn’t have turned her Pop down.

I’m not minding it, I mainly read old scifi, and the light it shines on how things were and what they thought of the future is what fancy’s me. I’ve read a couple other of his books, but they were more fantasy and I don’t think I like those. I like “space” in my stories.

I see Friday came out after, I’ll have to through that into my look for pile.

The other interesting thing is the terms they use and how they aren’t PC anymore. Lots of R words thrown out back then.

Don’t know if it matters, but I was born in 89 so interesting to see a “lens” into the past if that makes any sense…

I need this joke explained. If I read that book in school, I don’t recall anything about it sorry,

Wasn’t a “prank” or a maybe returned book to get money back but kept the material?

I had a similar typo in one of my books, typo was a character name and took me a minute to figure out what the issue is.

I can’t recall that one off the top of my head though, I share them with my brother, so I would have an image of it SOMEWHERE.

Oh jeez, makes you curious how something like that is able to happen.

I don’t know when computers took over typewriting for manuscripts and typesetting, but at some point some stuff just shouldn’t happen.

I honestly don’t know the printing, it’s confusing me. It says both Fawcett and Ballentine, first edition, with a copyright of both 80 and 82, but the spine says fawcett, which is the earlier printing.

But to answer the question, chapter 22 pages 194-195.

Airflow, keeps palms less sweaty.

Texture, provides more tactile feel and better grip, for when palms are sweaty.

People who vape in their car need to do it minimum monthly. The film of glycol just makes everything look smeared.
