I only read Ice Station Zebra. My only issue with it was each character was only known by their occupation so it was hard to keep track of who is who with so many characters. When the twist came, I had no idea who that person was. Are all his books like this?
Always been sad that SOUTH BY JAVA HEAD never got filmed. The second producer's death in '60, plus the lack of Alec Guinness's starpower doomed it...too much legal baggage for a less-than-blockbuster novel. Woulda been good, better than the novel most likely.
Love those Fawcett covers -- they bring back memories of my youth. You should really mention the covers and artists -- they're brilliant.
Thanks for watching. I tried locating some artist info at various sites and the paperback collector’s guide. Not much luck on identifying them.
I still have some of these, remember them on the wired spinning racks in all sorts of stores.
Very nice! Your copies are in great condition.
Thanks!

Sometimes it can be difficult to keep track of who’s who. I sometimes make a little written note.
