Welcome to Litsy!

While in Santa Fe, New Mexico yesterday my husband & I discovered George R. R. Martin owns a bookstore there, Beastly Books. We had to stop by! Too bad he wasn‘t there, but he had been in recently and signed a bunch of books. So I was going to be good, but I had to have a signed copy of Old Venus, right?!
Cute little store decorated with Game of Thrones fan art, movie/show props, friendly staff, & lots of banned book support.

Found these in an old used bookshop yesterday. All Frazetta covers too. Sad that someone added shorts to the woman on the Escape to Venus cover tho. Given how long ago these were written, I guess the censorship shouldn't surprise me. I enjoyed the John Carter of Mars books I read by him. (Known as the Barsoom series.) Since these were written after those, they might be even better. #scifibooks #oldscifi #tbrpile

No life on Venus in our future...unless they can live in 800+ degrees F. The bloody rain never touches the ground, because it evaporate before it can get there, because it is so ungodly hot. It is hell personified...planetified. If you believe in hell, bad people are going to Venus when they die.

Finally started going through some of my finds from my trip to Baldwin's Book Barn. The bag was sitting on my floor for a while. So, the next few posts will be some of those books. And I'll start with this one full of SF stories centered around old school Venus.

I love the Ben Bova planetary exploration books because they are all set in the same shared universe and characters from one sometimes get included or referenced in another. It's a good look at a real plausible solar system wide civilization.
