The more the aliens tampered, the more inexplicable the human reaction.

Robert Montgomery’s Pousse Cafe (Photo-Lettering, 1969) for the title of Recoil, a science fiction novel by South African couple Claude and Rhoda Nunes, published in 1971 as Ace Double together with Lallia by E.C. Tubb. The three layers of Pousse Cafe’s open shade were given different colors, adding further depth to the type. The cover art is by Frank Kelly Freas.
