Vintage Sci-Fi and Fantasy Paperback Collection (Choice of 9)
$9.00 – $17.00
Embark on a journey through the visionary landscapes of the 20th century with this curated selection of nine vintage science fiction and fantasy paperbacks. This collection is a treasure trove for the discerning reader, featuring influential editors like Damon Knight and Judy-Lynn del Rey alongside international giants of the genre like Stanislaw Lem. From the 1965 "Space Age" curiosity of 13 French Science-Fiction Stories to the high-fantasy world-building of Larry Niven’s The Magic Goes Away (1987), these volumes represent the golden era of mass-market speculative fiction. Each book is a tactile piece of history, featuring the bold, often surreal cover illustrations that made these editions iconic staples of mid-century and retro-modern bookshelves.
The collection offers a wide variety of sub-genres, including Frank Bonham's dystopian thriller The Missing Persons League and the hard-science mysteries of Stanislaw Lem's Pirx the Pilot. These books are ideal for styling a "dark academia" reading nook or adding a pop of vintage character to a "scholarly farmhouse" library.
