Is that a Fuzzy Bolo hanging from your rear view mirror, or are you just a fan of Piper and Laumer?
BOOK REVIEW: STAR GUARD BY ANDRE NORTON and other stuff
This week Steve’s all over the map. He reviews an old YA by Andre Norton, talks about cover artists (including Ed Emshwiller) and answers a comment from a reader. Oh, and he throws in a little egoboo for himself.
MAGAZINE REVIEW: F&SF FOR JAN/FEB 2016
The January/February issue of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction (F&SF) is under review by Steve, who likes it a lot, even though a couple of the stories kind of depressed him. You will probably like it too!

ROBERT A. HEINLEIN’S JUVENILES: Are they still good? (Part One)

SOME OF THE BEST YA SF EVER: The “Winston YAs” Part II
The Winston SF series – part two – in all it’s juvenile glory. Steve has some good info on how to obtain copies, reprints and replacement dust jackets.
