I am beginning to think that most Podcast Subscriptions may be massively overpriced.
I write for a year and sell a book for the same price as some are charging for two podcasts per month.
Something isn't right.

Some days, the words just come—thank God. I got up early. If only that worked every time.

The highlight of today so far has been getting turned down for a job at Plymouth's new crematorium.

I'm in a bit of a low mood at the moment, but I shall bounce back. I had my second job seekers meeting, and it was good. Too good, actually. I wanted them to get on my case and check all the evidence I took with me, but they didn't.

Blish left out the two Mudd stories from the previous 12 books and then tried to adapt them both and make one story. He died before finishing, and his wife, JA Lawrence, finished it and added a 3rd, original story. Later reprinted with a new title.

Book 12 and an image from The Corbomite Manoeuvre that everyone remembers from the closing credits. A nice clean image from Chris Achileos' website, too. This is (almost) the last of the episode adaptations, but don't worry. There are lots more covers to come.

I have been buying these books from eBay and this one stands out because it was in MINT condition. No joke. 40 years old and £3.00. Where has this been kept?? Unread too. 🤷🏻♂️😳😊

Book 10 and a thoughtful looking Spock from the episode "The Galileo Seven", as featured inside the book. I should probably mention that every cover is based on one of the episodes in each book.

Book 9 already, and an image from The Immunity Syndrome -first broadcast in the UK on Mon 10th Aug 1970. We had to wait quite a while, didn't we? A nice clean copy from Chris Achileos' website too.
These covers just make me want to be 10 years old again.

To someone who finds it hard to put himself out there and advertise a GoFundMe, I am now completely fed-up with parasites who offer to help and have no intention of doing so, merely trying fleecing me of a few pounds.
Is there really no part of our world that people won't exploit?

Book 8. It took me a while to realise that the face in the background was supposed to be Gary Mitchell, but apart from a slightly weird take on William Shatner's face, I still like this one. I also like how the continuity error has been fixed on the gravestone.

Of course, the obvious solution to my job hunting woes would be to sell 3000 books a month.

As I pass the 80 days out of work mark, I would like to take a moment to ask all employers why they make it so hard to apply for jobs. Is it because you know there will be 100s of people for every vacancy and you can afford to be tough?

Volume 7 and another great picture. Did this happen in the episode? I may check later, but I don't think it did. Michael Forest starring as the god Apollo, a role he returned to 46 years later in the fan series Star Trek Continues.

Time for Book 6 and an image from one of the episodes that EVERYONE remembers - The Apple, possibly for two reasons. 1: The big scary snake head and 2: David Soul from Starsky and Hutch was in it, in not-quite his first role.
