Found these in an old used bookshop yesterday. All Frazetta covers too. Sad that someone added shorts to the woman on the Escape to Venus cover tho. Given how long ago these were written, I guess the censorship shouldn't surprise me. I enjoyed the John Carter of Mars books I read by him. (Known as the Barsoom series.) Since these were written after those, they might be even better. #scifibooks #oldscifi #tbrpile

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Imagine being so disturbed by the female backside you have to draw shorts on a book cover?! 🙄 3y

bookishbitch @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I know. It's quite bizarre. 3y

Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation | Bill Nye

No life on Venus in our future...unless they can live in 800+ degrees F. The bloody rain never touches the ground, because it evaporate before it can get there, because it is so ungodly hot. It is hell personified...planetified. If you believe in hell, bad people are going to Venus when they die.

Old Venus | George R. R. Martin, Gardner Dozois

Finally started going through some of my finds from my trip to Baldwin's Book Barn. The bag was sitting on my floor for a while. So, the next few posts will be some of those books. And I'll start with this one full of SF stories centered around old school Venus.

Venus | Ben Bova

pick

I love the Ben Bova planetary exploration books because they are all set in the same shared universe and characters from one sometimes get included or referenced in another. It's a good look at a real plausible solar system wide civilization.
