Every month on my campus they let several local vendors set up stalls along one of the campus roads. One of these vendors is a bookseller, who usually has a sizeable Science Fiction section set up. Today, amongst the rest of the goodies, he had a whole lot of books by Andre Norton.
I know I’ve heard this author is a good one, and I even think I read and enjoyed a couple of her (I think I remember this is a pen name for a female author) books when I was a kid. So I thought I’d pick up a couple of books–but I wasn’t sure which ones.
I didn’t memorize any of the titles, because I figured I could come to my office, look up Andre Norton on amazon.com, and be reminded of the titles and at the same time get a feel for which ones are to be recommended and which ones not.
But none of the Amazon titles are ringing a bell–they don’t seem to be listing any of the books that are being sold in the stall.
So, I defer to the collective knowledge of the Dopers. Which obscure Andre Norton titles should I be happy to spend two bucks on?
I do remember one title–Year of the Unicorn. Any good?
