COSMIC DEBRIS: Your Master Plan of Fate!


A whole bundle of goodies here, but google yields no photos, and neither hide nor hair of the "world famous" Joy Marie and Lin Kha Shang! Were they even real people? Or just names on an ad? Do any personalized scrolls of eternity lay moldering in an attic or basement somewhere?

From Fate, Volume 18 - Number 1, January 1960.

COSMIC DEBRIS: New Hindu Oracle Set

More bang for your buck with a grab bag of mystic tools for psychic self improvement. The Museum of Talking Boards has a short description, while a defunct online listing provides these comprehensive photos:

IMPOSSIBLE YET IT HAPPENED! by R. DeWitt Miller









Charming old collection of Forteana makes no bones about its scattershot structure, flitting from mystery to mystery and never overstaying its welcome. Interesting to see the state of General Weirdness just a few years before the Bermuda Triangle, Bigfoot, and the UFO explosion. Miller writes with a light touch, leveling things with a wry sense of humor whether the subject is sea serpents or seances. There doesn't seem to be a lot of information out there concerning Miller, besides his published works and the fact that he died at the age of 48 in 1958. Going by the past tense of his author description, this paperback was published at some point after that. 

The excellent UFO blog The Saucers That Time Forgot has a a very thorough article on this book and its early flying saucer influence under its original title, Forgotten Mysteries.


Ace Books, circa 1960 (original pub. 1947)
