A handsome reprint of Lawrence David Kusche's magnum opus from the titans of pulp at the New English Library.
Dig the full page ads for a twofer of WWII merchant marine tales from authors Paul Lund and Harry Ludlum, plus a corker of a back page selection including The Rats, Carrie, and a little paranormal thriller called Thin Air ... more about that last title some other time ...
This copy also yielded a coupon for 42 cents off a bacon cheeseburger sandwich from Hardee's, valid only at the Manitowoc and Two Rivers locations! Turns out those towns are in Wisconsin, and neither location is extant - which is fine, because the offer expired February 15, 1987!
Around the world and through the decades! Courtesy the New English Library, 1981 (original pub. 1975).
But I want a gaddam bacon cheeseburger on the cheap!
ReplyDeleteThat one is buried in my own collection of books, sadly I think that 1981 reprint is the only time the book was reprinted, unlike the books he was trying to explain which got endless reprints.
