    All today's books were from MCS.

    It's one of the reading library issues, GCD has it as Foster reprints. Edit: and yes, I'm still enjoying the club. MCS is a wonderful source of affordable books.

    I had been holding off mentioning this until I had a copy on the way, but this issue is oddly probably best known for the review column, because it's the first appearance of Sturgeon's Revelation, better known as Sturgeon's Law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon's_law

    Nice, the Shock 6 is still the most I've ever spent on a comic. Then again, mine's not a reprint. But the cover and stories are just as good in your version!

    Have you ever seen the very first filmed James Bond? It was live TV, with an American Jimmy Bond, a British Felix Leiter, and Peter Lorre as the first Bond Villain.

    Just remember: saying you never expect something to turn up is the most effective way of making something actually turn up, but it only works if you absolutely and sincerely believe that it won’t ever turn up when you say it.

    It’s a great book, but the friend who introduced me to Piper beyond the Fuzzies books was super apologetic about the title and I’ve carried on the tradition.

    I like the slight variant they used for the Avon Fantasy Novels. I think there were only three... two as their own series and one in the regular numbering:

    A couple of pulps with PKD stories. I should try and put together a list of how many actual pulps have PKD stories, most of his stuff was in digests since the pulps were dying near the start of his career:
