3: (D-287) General Holland M. Smith was the wartime commander of the United States Marine Corps in the Central Pacific.

Actual size of image is 19.25" x 23". The rest of the board is painted a flat yellow which matchs the background color of the painting. The artist blocked off the image area with masking tape. Close-up image of characters.
 
4: (D-324) Raymond King Cummings (1887-1957) was an adventurer (gold prospecting, oil field, and orange plantations) and later an editor for Thomas Alva Edison.

6: (D-350) Peter George (1924-1966) spent most of his career in the Royal Air Force. He wrote two novels.

8: (D-473) John Taine was the pseudonym of Eric Temple Bell (1883-1960), Professor of Mathematics at the California Institute of Technology, whose highly readable books on mathematics are still highly acclaimed. Taine wrote about a dozen SF books. Most of them were Originally published in the 1920's and 1930's in hardcover form, since Taine does not appear to have been aware of the SF magazines until his writing career was well established. After World War II, there was a brief but intense Taine revival. Many of his best novels were reissued by the short-lived semi-professional book publishers of that era and a number of his books were reprinted by Famous Fantastic Mysteries. However, many modern readers have never heard of him.

Booknotes:
1: (D270) This cover art appears to have been swiped for use in the British paperback The Big Rumble by Edward De Roo (Digit Books, R-360; 1960). It was then used by Michael Barson and Steven Heller as the cover art for their Teenage Confidental: An Illustrated History of the American Teen (Chonicle Books; 1998).

What is interesting is that there is no signature on this art and although it was in the Charles Martignette estate (and sold by Heritage Auction House), there is no knowledge of the artist identity. ~ Dr. Smith
 
2: (D-323) The Violent Ones is a juvenile delinquency/teenage gangs anthology edited by Brant House (aka Donald Wollheim). Stories by Hal Ellson (aka Harlan Ellison), Evan Hunter, Jonathan Craig, Robert Turner, Gil Brewer, Robert Bowen, Murray Wolf, Robert Brown, and Robert Silverberg.
 
3: (D-350) Other editions of this volume are located at D-551 (reprint of 1958 edition), F-210 (1963 edition with different cover as well as the tie-in to the 1963 movie) as well as ACE 00078. See comment about renumbering of ACE single editions at D-551.
 
4: (D-422) Sixteen short stories including: Atitudes by Philip Jose Farmer, The Star Gypsies by William Lindsay Gresham, Experiment by Kay Rogers, Lot by Ward Moore, New Rituals by Idris Seabright, Vandy by Manly Wade Wellman and Star Light, Star Bright by Alfred Bester.
 
5: (D-538) The 1,000 Year Plan was Originally published in ACE Double D-110 (1955) bound with Poul Anderson's No World of Their Own. It was also published as an ACE Special Edition single (D-110) in 1955. These editions all use the same Emsh cover art. 
 
6: (D-539) Original cover art painted by Rudy Nappi for D-539. Gouache on illustration board, Signed lower left. The full image size is approximately 18.75 x 11.75 with the overall (unframed) size being 23 x 16. The image area was "squared off" on the board in production with 3/4 inch black tape (partially shown in the first photo). However, the image area shown in the first photo is slightly more than what appears on the paperback cover. As was common, part of the image was cropped by the publisher when it was transferred to the cover. Close-up image of characters.
 
7: (D-551) One of the ACE Image Library users has brought to my attention that this may be a re-number of D-350. On the image of this cover there was the typical ACE white renumber block in the number space. Since there is so little real information on these renumbers, I only ever get decent data when a user sends me a query. As you can see from the image for D-350, the price is $0.35 (which is also the price on the D-551). It is interesting that there is no reprint notice on the copyright page (but ACE seldom did this even when they actually bought the rights for a story). For example (of this style of renumbering), F-210 (which is a definite reprint of D-350 with a new cover) has a price change to $0.40. I want to thank the user (anonymously) for sending me this image that allows me to document this renumber issue. ~ Dr. Smith
