Belmont Doubles Image Library

92-812 JAMES BLISH Giants in the Earth (c. 1952) and ROBERT SILVERBERG We, The Marauders (c. 1958; January 1965; 1st thus)

Note this volume has a split artwork cover for each story and that the volume is headlined as "A Pair From Space." Please note that the publication history of these stories is suggested to be "first paperback publication" as well as "complete." Probably this relates to the complete abridgment of stories for paperback publication and forestalling any potential hesitation on the buyer at the newstand. I have also found that in the Belmont Books catalogue this volume is listed as B92-812 A Pair From Space by James Blish and Robert Silverberg, rather than the individual titles.


B50-670 E. B. MANN Buzzards of Apache Gap and E. B. MANN Return of the Gun-Cub (1966; 1st thus)

Note that Belmont followed a similar format of two stories by the same author as did ACE Doubles for the G-series mystery and the later five-digit numerical sequence science fiction genres. Split artwork cover.

B60-081 JOHN BRUNNER Father of Lies and BRUCE DUNCAN Mirror Image (October 1968; 1st thus; listed as "complete novels")

Holroyd (2003) has B60-081 listed only for Duncan's Mirror Image while he has a listing for B60-085 with Brunner's Father of Lies bound with Leo P. Kelly's Journey to Earthdeath. There is some confusion here and if any AIL user has a copy of Belmont B60-081 with only a single story or the Belmont B60-085 with the Brunner and Kelly stories, please drop me an e-gram.

Both of these stories are copyrighted for 1969 and are thus first paperback publication, but this is not indicated on the cover. Single cover artwork.
