- Laser Books
Laser Books was a line of 58 paperback
science fiction (SF) novels published from 1975 to 1977 by Canadian romance powerhouse Harlequin Books. Laser published three titles per month, available by subscription as well as in stores. The books were limited to 50,000-60,000 words. They were numbered as a series, though each was a standalone novel. All the covers were painted by fan favoriteKelly Freas , a winner many times over of theHugo Award forBest Artist .Tim Powers , whose first book was published by Laser, has said that "Epitaph in Rust" was mangled by the editors at Laser Books. An unedited version has been issued by a different publisher. [ [http://bellsouthpwp2.net/b/r/branch_c/tp2_epitaph.html Tim Powers: An Epitaph In Rust ] ]Piers Anthony has a similar complaint, which is noted here: "But What Of Earth?" Controversy. When he republished the book later (throughTor Books ) he added much discussion about the Laser Books treatment of his work.Titles
