Planet Of The Apes had a lovingly made Folio Society edition a few years back. It hasn’t had a Penguin Classic edition but it did have a Vintage Classic edition with a gimmicky 3D cover, it comes with the glasses. Obviously this is the edition I have.

Hah! Obviously!

Can't help but to laugh every time you just casually call him Moron 😂 There is a Penguin Modern Classic and amazingly a Folio Society edition!

I remember the movie and tv show from childhood and had the Planet of the Apes Tree House toy. I got it for Christmas and it started falling apart the first time I played with it. Very traumatic and a lesson about crappy movie tie in toys. I have the paperback and will be reading it right away!

Planet of the schnauzer? I ll have nightmares about it 😮

Oh….this demands a response video!

A friend of mine from work recently recommended i read this, so i am so happy to hear you talking about it. I need to order a copy, but it is on my short list for the fourth week of Rocket Summer. Stranger in a Strange Land too. Also i would love for you to focus on canonical SF.

I remember in the 70s the paperback had a tie-in cover for the Charlton Heston movie and seen often in Waldenbooks in the mall. I read it in 8th grade (around1976) a few years after having seen the movie on TV. I was disappointed, even as an 8th grader. I loved the movies, particularly Beneath the Planet of the Apes. I liked the TV show too. I remember model kits for Planet of the Apes characters as a kid as well.

I read that book about five years ago and was totally shocked by how bad it is. It was a terrible Swifitian pastiche. Good to hear that you thought it was crap as well

"terrible Swiftian pastiche" is PERFECT.

Steve this is a great video. I am fond of Herbert George Wells. Jorge Luis Borges fell in love with The First Men in the Moon. He was particularly fond of the Celenite Chapters towards the end of the said novel. The Island of Dr. Moreau is MY FAVOURITE. I watch your channel as well as Michael K. Vaughan 's. Thank you again

Congratulations on surpassing 17.5k subscribers!! ❤ I’m preparing my queries for your next Q&A. 😉 Right now I must know if you really had a beautiful head of thick flowing black locks when you were sailing the seven seas a la Sinbad? I’d pay good money to see a photo (no shirt!) 😝 I read the original Planet of The Apes in elementary school. The adults in my life assured me that it was societal satire, although it was years before I understood what that meant. Lol. Thanks for an amusing and nostalgic video. 😺✌️

This channel will never - repeat, never - reach 18K, so you have plenty of time to work on your questions! As to younger-Steve photos, there are rumors that such things can be found on my Instagram ...

@@saintdonoghue I see lots and lots of books, Freida, Freida, Freida, Sam with a distinguished older gentleman, and David reading an economics textbook in a loincloth. Oh, and a snake, (which has nothing to do with David. ) The only other human appears to be some young geek in a ball cap. No Sinbad pics. I’m giving up and watching Godzilla team up with King Kong to save the Earth from an even greater threat. 🤷‍♂️

I think I’ve only seen the first PotA movie, I’d like to see the rest! Never seen a good review of the book. I read the cosmic puppets by PKD, it was ok, not straight SF, both typical and atypical, can see why it’s largely forgotten, only Deus Irae left and I will have read all his SF… I started the ring of ritornel and have a very good feeling about it!

I love Planet Of The Apes so that confirms that it is bad.

The 2001 Tim Burton film with Mark Wahlberg has a 5.7 user rating on IMDB. It’s not really well liked :) Not even by the genre fans who would take the time to vote. The Earth gimmick in the original film was almost certainly contributed by Rod Serling who worked on the script.
