Ummm…is this not kinda odd?

Fred said...: Nope, I don't see anything odd about it. It looks just like the cover of my copy, except that mine is a single, ACE F-408, and not the ACE Double.

What do you find odd about it?; 10:27 PM
Ed Ward said...: Not as odd as I felt when I discovered Andre Norton was actually a woman...

WV: silyings, which is somewhat appropriate.; 5:03 AM
Fred said...: I no longer can remember what I thought when I found out Norton was a woman. Back then, I might have been naive enough to wonder why she used a man's name.

I do know that she was a favorite of mine back then and bought everything she wrote.; 6:21 AM
stu said...: i remember a cracker she wrote that i read when i was about 10,it had semi-sentient plants in it,anyone know what it was called?; 10:31 AM
Pepsi said...: Farren may well be talking about the art. The bird headress is kind of weird, and there's a definite homo-erotic edge. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.); 2:09 PM
Fred said...: I can't think of any of her books that had semi-sentient plants.

But, it's been decades at least since I've read many of her works, so I'm no authority on what's in her books.; 4:07 PM
