Real pulp fiction magazines and books are in my focus these days. Philip K Dick, like many many other authors of Sci-fi novels and short stories, published a bunch of works in those cheap publications. From 50′s to 60′s (for now), I’d located several of them, in great titles like Galaxy, If, Wonder Stories, Amazing Stories, and many more.

These little books are old, very old, cheap paper with rusty and hard smell… Old paper, humidity, bacteries…. All of this will be removed, with luck, when I receive a little ozonizer!!! Will post the results… Meanwhile, I love to collect these little jewels of the past. Inside, aside of PKD stories, are plenty of other interesting authors too: Arthur C Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Robert Bloch, no name a few.

It depicts the life of FW Wolworth. It’s not difficult to locate a copy. Try Abebooks, for instance.

All images are in black and white, thus, the imagen in the movie has faux colour.

Magnifications

Si alguna vez te has preguntado dónde encontrar las imágenes ampliadas mostradas en el microscopio de la escena de la calle del ADN, aquí tienes la solución: el libro Magnifications, de David Scharf, una colección de bellas imágenes realizadas por el microscopio eletrónico. Todas las imágenes son en blanco y negro, así pues, las imágenes que aparecen en la película están coloreadas.
