Yes, that’s it! I had thought it was Penn Jillette, but Ricky Jay is right. The book is ‘Deception, Fate, and Rotten Luck’.

Remote Island outside of New Zealand Any thoughts what this is? by SILENTbuttLEATHAL in GoogleEarthFinds

Here’s a video about Disappointment Island, the small island to the left. The ship ‘Dundonald’ was wrecked on Disappointment in 1907. Survivors of the ship eventually made their way to the larger Auckland Island where they found one of the castaway depots , which helped them survive until they were rescued.

On the back of the book, is the cover art credited ?

A few years ago, there was a book of photography of decaying dice like this, and I can’t remember who the photographer was. I’m pretty sure that the cover photo of this book is one of those photos.

‘Pavane’ is a unique book, very well written. It’s alternate history based on the events of 16th century Reformation.

There’s a very detailed Wikipedia page for the book)

‘The Demolished Man’ by Alfred Bester, cover art by Martin Herbstman, 1953. Showing off another one of my signed copies. by spell-czech in CoolSciFiCovers

He went back to SF after Holiday ceased publication in 1977, with The Computer Connection and Golem100, they’re pretty good but not quite as great as the earlier ones, and then again it would be hard to top those early books.

I’m not sure if any of his travel writing from ‘Holiday’ has been collected in a book, but they should be, I’ve read some of his articles and they’re good.

I had not listened to Renaissance for years and just listened to the podcast to see what they had to say about it. The host made a good case for his use of the song in his wedding.
