Issued by Pyramid #X-1679, 1967. Strangely, even though "Lost in Space" was the best & most popular of Irwin Allen's
TV series, it only inspired one paperback from a major publisher. The book was written by Dave VanArnam & Ron Archer,
& has little relationship with the TV show. The photo choice on the cover is "dreadful", and even the LIS logo was
wrong. The book remained highly unpopular & unlike the "Land of the Giants" novels, received only one printing. The
novel sold for .60 cents.
Special thanks to Charles Finn of Oceanside, California
for the additional info and photos. (Spanish Publication)
