No, I seem to have overlooked them up to this point, but I'm very pleased to know about them now - it looks as if they have some good stuff.

I was both amused and astonished by Brackett's prescient 1955 mention of the telescope used to discover the worlds around Barnard's Star: She called it the "Keble," foreseeing both the Keppler and Hubble telescopes!

Yep, that was a good one.

I haven't come across "Phoenix Pick" before. Are they simply a reseller, or a publisher?

This certainly looks like a good bundle, though. Several books here that I haven't previously come across.

Nah, quality is solid. Have read several.
