SOAR AMERICA (Joss)
John Joss has captured a little piece of the spirit that makes soaring the great sport it is. He spares no energy in the selection of over twenty authors and their stories. The reader is given a sense of the editor's expression "a third dimension" i.e. the ascent skyward in sailplanes. A bargain at $1.00.

Turnpoints (Seibels)
