The Pohl essay piques my interest, but Worldcat claims-- as if to elaborate on our host's remarks about its out-of-print-ness-- that not a single library anywhere holds this book. Sad.

What I find astounding is that the alien on the cover is carrying a naked *man* instead of a woman! That is still almost unheard of today!

Of course, it could be a case of 'no women allowed - even on the cover'.

I'm not sure if the alien looks regretful or just plain embarrassed.
