True story. I resolved just yesterday that as soon as I finish reading on my Kindle "The Girl Who Wanted to be Sherlock Holmes" (by award-winning author Bill Crider), my next Kindle book is going to be "Star Maker" by Olaf Stapledon.
What are the odds that Olaf Stapledon would be mentioned in Bill Crider's blog the very next day? I guess this just goes to show that I really do control the universe! ;-)

I don't remember a nude scene in that book . . .

Wow! Imagine the results if the cover art "director" designated the cover art for other classics, e.g. Pride and Prejudice, Crime and Punishment, Vanity Fair, Moby Dick ...

These GALAXY/BEACON books had provocative covers but great texts between them!

I seem to remember reading this book, but I don't remember it being very much like the back copy.

Deb: It isn't!
