Man! Why is space so 1980's?Click for full image

Think of your target audience, 15 year old boys and 39 year old single males still living with their parents. So that would be, a women with an unimaginable rack walks in space across….liquid alien gooey stuff….and then just throw in a red computer grid and some flying male/female symbols. Sorted! We’ve pretty much got a winner!

Thanks to Mairi! :)

Actually, that cover is a visual feast!I would pick that one up.Neeaaa, I've seen worse.Interesting, but I would still take it on a train.It's somewhere between the awful/good scale.Would not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just awful...I swear, thats my flatmates!Gah... my eyes! They are burning!Good Show Sir.... Good Show! (Average: 8.24 out of 10)

    I have to say, I had the pleasure of reading the back of this book. And from what I gather a bunch of lonely sci-fi guys got drunk and decided to write a collection of space love stories.

    And from the inside… I don’t think any of them have been with a women.

    Hey, this has got some Ian M Banks as well as some Kim Newman in it! Good haul!

    That grid is really doing it for me though. Is there a complimentary BBC Basic programming guide included?

    I AM pretty curious as to wtf the goop river in space is.

    I love the 80′s hair do aswell. and the 80′s boots, and the 80′s sweat band. That book wasnt compilled in the 80′s by any chance?

    I see a copy of BIG WOMEN by Fay Weldon in the background. The woman on the cover is planet-sized.

    I don’t think this is the proper use of the word “unearthly.” It’s like saying “unearthly spaceships”.
