I recently came across a mint-condition (practically) copy of it, and I would think it would be somewhat rare. It is: MEN OF OTHER PLANETS by Kenneth Heuer, published by Pellegrini & Cudahy, New York, 1951. It is a delightful book, full of fascinating woodcut-style illustrations, depicting various forms of intelligent lifeforms designed to live under the conditions then envisiaged (1940's vintage scientific thought) to exist on other planets in the Solar System, plus some rather wild speculation as to forests on the dark side of the moon, creatures living in the Sun, etc. Does anyone else recall reading this book back in the early 50's? It must have had quite an impact, for I remembered it (vaguely) ever since, and I recognized the title and book instantly when I saw it in a pile of books for sale. If anyone can find any reference to this book having some collectible value, I'd appreciate their sending or posting any info they can find. Thanks much!
