Laser Books

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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 favorite Kelly Freas, a winner many times over of the Hugo Award for Best Artist.

Tim Powers, whose fist 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.^[1]
