A Planet of Your Own / The Beasts of Kohl by John Brunner and John Rackham. Ace Double G-592, Ace Books, New York, 1966 — First Edition / First Printing (Paperback Originals) Book Condition: Very Good−. Bright tête-bêche pictorial wrappers with light edge wear and rubbing only. Light spine creasing and scattered minor foxing to the text pages, with light uniform age-toning throughout — typical for paper stock of this vintage. Pages otherwise clean and unmarked. No ownership markings, stamps, or price stickers. Original 50¢ cover price stated. A sound and honest copy. (see photos) A Planet of Your Own runs 99 pages; The Beasts of Kohl runs 154 pages. Cover art on both sides by Jack Gaughan. "John Rackham" was a pseudonym for John T. Phillifent, who also published under his own name, mostly in Analog. A Planet of Your Own, at approximately 30,000 words, appeared on the long list of Nebula nominees for Best Novel of 1966 — the second year of the Nebula Awards Two entertaining mid-1960s science fiction adventures in the classic tête-bêche Ace Double format. In A Planet of Your Own, Kynance Foy travels from Earth to planet Zygra to work as Planetary Supervisor — a seemingly simple job that turns out to involve considerably more. A brisk, legally flavoured adventure from John Brunner, published just a few years before his landmark Hugo Award–winning Stand on Zanzibar established him as one of the field's major voices. On the flip side, The Beasts of Kohl opens with a man named Rang hunting on an alien world in the company of a bird and a large dog, with both of whom he can communicate telepathically, before the novel expands into a compelling exploration of alien intelligence and inter-species co-existence. A solid and enjoyable pairing from the height of the Ace Double era, with distinctive Jack Gaughan cover art on both sides.…
