On the Shores of Endless Worlds

The PorPor Books Blog: SF and Fantasy Books 1968 - 1988: On the Shores of Endless Worlds


Andrew Tomas (also known as A. Boncza Tomaszewski;1906 - 2001) was a Russian-born author who arguably created the entire 'Ancient Astronauts' genre with his 1935 book The Planetary Doctrine. 

During the 70s, the success of Erich von Daniken's books motivated paperback publishers in the US and UK to release new books Tomas had written on the Ancient Astronauts theme. Among these was Sphere Book's release of On the Shores of Endless Worlds.

After a quite intense 2016, let's see what 2017 brings. I'm looking forward to many things:

There will be a big wedding in june, some traveling to the good ol' UK and to France, an evening with a blacksmith, hopefully a comic convention, some big changes in my office, maybe a new position (who knows), evenings with good friends and my family, the sea, many many books and and and....

Plus I plan to get rid of some old stuff (clothes, comics, books, trading cards), because I need more room for new things.

And after all, enjoy life.

Its a bit late, but - Happy New Year to everybody, and have a good time!


P.S. The book of this post - I didn't read it until today, I found it in Notting Hill last October. But I thought the artwork is perfect for a new year.

To start the new year, here's my latest addition to my collection. Startling Stories from 1952!

It has everything - nice cover, rockets, girls, interior illustrations that are really great, interesting stories.
