ALSO:  I picked up a paperback copy of Frederik Pohl and C. M. Kornbluth's Search the Sky (Ballantine #61, 1954) in fairly good condition (some spine wear, lower corner fold on cover, some marking on inside front cover, tiny mar on back cover).  For a dime, I just couldn't leave it there -- especially with that great Powers cover.  It's available, first come first serve; just let me know by e-mail (house_jerry@hotmail.com) with your mailing address and I'll ship it off.
