Benjamin Comments: “Listen, if this book sells more than 30 copies it’ll be a miracle. It’s done up in a strawberry-ice-cream-pink cover with a bright green toy rocket ship and some cheap plaster busts of LBJ and JFK and a coke bottle and a hamburger on the front — I showed it to a classroom full of gifted children up at the College of Marin and one kid said ‘That’s a toy book.'” – Richard A. Lupoff (Locus #159, 1974)

Alessandra Comments: This reminded me of the old “Superfriends” cartoon. Hanna-Barbera does epic fantasy. It’s subtitle is “being a novelized version of the remarkable interplanetary events that took place at the World Science Fiction Convention of 1971,” which makes me wonder what the heck happened.
