http://pulpaweek.blogspot.com/2011/01/taking-slight-break.html
Friday, January 14, 2011. Taking a Short Break. I am going to relax for the month of January and rinse my brain with some non SF fiction. I promise to come back guns blazing in February! In the meantime I will be posting covers from my paperback collection to http:/ sfcovers.tumblr.com/. Hope you enjoy it. Update- I am going to buy a sweet color scanner in the next few weeks, so expect some better quality pics come February. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Art of Penguin Science Fiction.
