Vintage PB - Ballantine Books

During the early 1950s, Ballantine attracted attention as one of the leading publishers of paperback science fiction and fantasy, beginning with The Space Merchants (#21). The Frederik Pohl and C. M. Kornbluth novel had first appeared in Galaxy Science Fiction under the title Gravy Planet.

Ballantine's science fiction line also included the unusual Star Science Fiction Stories. With cover paintings by Richard Powers, this innovative anthology series offered new fiction rather than reprints. Edited by Frederik Pohl, it attracted readers by successfully combining the formats of both magazines and paperbacks. The series pioneered the original anthology format later used by Orbit, New Dimensions and Universe, among others. 

Our little collection features both of Zacherley’s anthologies and a number of other rare stories. From our perspective the most notable thing about Ballantine paperbacks was the outrageous artwork, particularly if you view a large set - guess those were happy times!

We’ve covered all of these in Croc Covers.
