"Think galactic-or your world is lost" is one hell of a tagline.
1966 Ace books paperback of Babel-17 by the master himself, Samuel R. Delaney. First edition cover art--which is objectively incredible--by Jerome (Jerry) Podwil.
Sometimes, when I am using my beloved isfdb.org for research on the books I am posting, I discover something new about this little niche of collecting I have been inhabiting for years and thought I knew a lot about. It is always fun to find these happy little surprises; in this case, it is Mr. Podwil's work. He was prolific, especially in the 1960s, and did covers for some pretty big names in the speculative fiction world. I highly recommend checking out his page to see some of the awesome covers he did!
Now I have to control myself and not buy a whole bunch of books with his cover art on them, but I do not know how long I can hold off.
