Racism, sexism, get off it already. This was a good book. SHOCKED!!!! MY GOD!!!
You should be more shocked on what’s going on in the world today than what James Blish wrote in this book.

He spread the word on paper about Star Trek and I thank James Blish for all his talent and persistence. So what if Uhura let out a FAT AFRICAN LAUGH????

It just gets me how people are still living in their closet. OH MY, I’M SO OFFENDED!!!
Read and enjoy. Great book..

I love how Shatner is holding a camera tripod to look like a gun of some type!

This is one LP I don’t have, I missed it somehow. Thanks for the entry! I have just found you and added your blog to my own blog’s list of links.

Keep up the good work, it’s neat to read your takes on the books I read over the years and collected.

I just picked this book up and was struck by the level of racism and sexism in it. Blish even has a paragraph long description of why white women are attracted to Spock (it’s a stepping stone towards sex with other races which women find scary but also tititlating). Uhura at one point lets out a “fat african laugh.”
