A BOOK(S)

Say what? Yes, a books, since it's an Ace Double from 1966...hahaha...
A Planet Of Your Own by John Brunner b/w The Beasts Of Kohl by John Rackham:

These Ace Doubles were big in the 60s; I'd actually owned quite a few - wish I'd kept them. But every so often I find one here and there and pick them up to (re-)read and keep. And the novels, well some are actually novelets, they were pretty good in the 60s when I discovered SF and read pretty much anything. (I actually belonged to the SF Book Club back when the hardcover books were 99 cents!). But there's a reason John Brunner is still well known to readers of SF, and John Rackham isn't. One of the reasons in this instance is that the Brunner takes place off-Earth, and the Rackham doesn't, which ages it immediately. But Brunner is also a better writer in any case, whose books are still reprinted today (Go find Stand On Zanzibar or The Sheep Look Up, both written in the 60s but still relevant today - and probably still in print).

But as a nostalgic read, the books are worth a read, if only to take one back to "the good old days".
