I wouldn’t be surprised if, when you add them up, 40% of the comments to this sites are variants of: “OMG! I had that exact same copy of that book when I was younger! LOLs!” A comment which adds nothing to the larger debate.
Nonetheless, for this post I am compelled to note: OMG! I had that exact same copy of that book when I was younger! LOLs!

@Adam – How does it feel to be like the rest of us now?
I used to be scared of the Brian Lumley books I had… I remember hiding them in the bookshelf after reading them. I was maybe slightly too young to read those. Anyway, I can imagine my younger self doing the very same with this book!

Brian Aldiss evidently demanded that his name be removed from this cover… but only his FIRST name.

What’s with the uncapitalised “minute”?

Well, normally I don’t like to pan Science Fiction, but since the cover insists:
The full title of this picture is “Metallic Gymnast In Bedpan With Wings.”

Obviously minute is not a noun. It is being used as an adjective. Apparently hours are just tiny little things in the world of this book.

Space toilets just make constipation feel a tad bit more awkward. They make every hour spent on them feel like an 80-minute hour.
