Book description

Supposing you were Dr. Morris Goldpepper, D. D.S., kidnapped and brought to a strange new planet, condemned to fashion sets of false teeth for its toothless inhabitants? Supposing you owned a bicycle repair shop and the bicycles began to take on a strange new life of their own? Supposing you found an antique telephone in a curiosity shop, dialed a number and were connected with George Washington? Can you imagine the results? Only Avram Davidson can, and he convincingly transports you to a world where past and future intermingle, where weird creatures and events rub shoulders with everyday reality.
