No. Ballantine is doing cheap paperback versions of a lot of his books,
maybe most of them. Cover art for the Mars series is by Michael Whelan,
very nice stuff. The problem is they are letting some things go out of
print. I think it was SWORDS OF MARS they let go out of print, maybe one
other. ESCAPE ON VENUS is only in print in an expensive hardcover. I've
bought some of the Ballantine paperbacks, borrowed some from my library,
and gotten some through interlibrary loan. When I do that, I never know
what publisher it will be, unless I request a specific publisher. So
far, I haven't done that. I've gotten one or two hardcovers illustrated
by Frazetta, and I don't remember what publisher it was. I like getting
illustrated editions, myself. The covers that Frazetta did for the old
Ace paperbacks were the best.
