JF Ptak Science Books Quick Post Outsider Logic series
About two miles from my house stands a sign for a housing development called “Solar-Vista”, and right next to it is the street sign, which is “Shadow Valley Drive”–somewhat ironic, I’d say. That’s what came to mind when I saw the cover of this self-published screed atomic power called Atomic Power–it just struck me as as little M. Hulot-ish to have the typed piece of paper attached with band adhesive tape to the cover of the missive. That, and the title strip has fallen off. It seems perfect, in its own, odd, way.
Here’s the first page of the work–I have one of the copies that were submitted to the Copyright Office and then sent over to the Library of Congress, and after decades was deaccessioned, and then came to me. The author tried tro make some sort of point, but it is lost on me, though I didn’t make it but only two pages into the 24-page blueprinted work. (And yes, “Scotch Tape” is a couple of decades older than atomic power.)
