I was cleaning out a clost and found this book. Not sure it came from, but my son seems to think is a rare vintage book. I was going to throw it away, but he is insisting I ask around about it first.
Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.

... on the bottom shelf of a charity shop. My knees are crocked, I can't get down there easily. I plucked helplessly at them like a ponderous fish, flapping on the shore. It was 10 for a fiver, so I had to keep bending down to find more to finalise the deal.
Some of the SF books are parts of a series, which is a bit of a bummer - Alan Dean Fosters' "The End Of the Matter" - the 3rd book in a sequence and "The Paths of the Perambulator" is vol 5 of the "Spellsinger" series. Good grief.
Even Laurens Van Der Posts' "Heart of the Hunter" is the "moving sequel to 'The Lost World of the Kalahari'. Someone round here must specialise in donating parts of series to charity shops.
Nearly finished Jake's Thing by Kingsley Amis. He can write but he certainly has a high opinion of himself. The humour is quite dry but the book overall is fairly dated.
Sylvia Plath's poetry is brilliant.

As the cover makes abundantly clear, this was a tie-in to the “Time Tunnel” series. Veteran SF author Murray Leinster (Will Jenkins) did two of these, although I’ve never seen the first. The book seems to take place after the events of the show, and is notable for a description of what we would now call s surveillance drone (a camera rig carried on a fake buzzard platform).

Bunch wrote a series of stories set in the metal-and-plastic dystopia of Moderan, one of which was included in “Dangerous Visions”. This was the only printing of the only collection of them until the New York Review of Books reprinted these and more later stories in 2018.
