In Estonian and Russian. A set of mystery board games from a phantom manufacturer they were reminiscent of Chutes and Ladders and were created at the height of the lunar programs' competition between Russia and the United States. Although the rules called for pawns and a dice it did not appear as if they had been originally supplied with the box. Also possibly because the two games relied on the same principle the instructions described the rules for only the Circus game. Oktoober unknown books

Hardcover. nice tight clean copy minor shelfwear only; jacket very attractive with just a touch of soiling and a couple of tiny edge-nicks. The trials and tribulations of an unwed mother -- or more precisely a divorcee who gets knocked up by her lover then refuses his half-hearted marriage proposal and subsequently suffers "pain hunger want." The jacket copy really goes to town in the best Macaulay house style: "No human experience is so profound and rich in emotion as the long crisis of pregnancy . . . and when the expected child must legally be fatherless then crisis is added upon crisis. . . . It is amazing that this situation has never before been treated in all its dramatic fullness. In this book the anonymous author tells a story that for sheet intensity and stark realism has not been equalled in modern fiction. . . . The book is more than literature. It is life itself."
