About This Item
ALAN E. NOURSE. TIGER BY THE TAIL AND OTHER SCIENCE FICTION STORIES. MacFadden-Bartell, New York, 1964. First Edition of short stories from the author in paperback. Condition: Very Good+. With micro chips on edge extremities, mild creases and minor rubbing on spine typical of pulp fiction books of this age, otherwise all pages are clean and binding solid. Cover art by Richard Powers, one of the great science fiction cover artists who painted both abstract and surrealism on pulp magazines and books. Typical of Powers, he often re-used parts of his artwork from his previous artwork for other book covers, here on the front cover rectangles of this artwork, this came directly from his artwork from the back cover of the short story collection paperback, "Get Out of My Sky" edited by Leo Margulies. 16mo.
