BOOKS --SEVERAL TO READ AND ONE TO SELL--

Because I sometimes find things to read that I feel are worth- while I'd like to pass them along to you. Not all of them have a direct relationship to our field, but all will be worth reading.

EARTH ABIDES by George R. Stewart Ace Star pocket books 50¢ A wonderful science fiction book by an author I found wonderful years ago for his book called STORM. A story of a small band of humans left after a national disaster and how they faced the prob- lems of carrying on. Really makes you think about many things

usually taken for granted.

THE IMPORTANCE OF WEARING CLOTHES by Lawrence Langnor, pub. by Hastings House. A regular full size book covering the history and social significance of clothing of all kinds since early times. Doesn't even miss T. C. Jones, Julian Eltings & d'Eon. Profusely illustrated too, you'll find it a store house of interest- ing information and new thoughts about clothing.

VENUS PLUS X by Theodore Sturgeon Pyramid Books, a pocketbook. This too is a science fiction effort, but is also a rather remark- able study of the matter of sex and gender with some very worth- while bits of philosophy thrown in here and there. One phrase I like very much is, Most of the world's troubles began when we started to emphasize the differences between the sexes rather than the similarities." I think you'll find this worthy.
