The Big Jump is a science fiction novel by Leigh Brackett (1915–1978), the “Queen of Space Opera”. Originally published in the February 1953 issue of Space Stories, it first appeared in book form in Ace Double D-103 from 1955. Shown here is the 1976 paperback edition.
ITC Busorama as designed by Tom Carnase with Herb Lubalin was released by ITC in 1970 and became a staple in the following decade. Busorama Prisma is a multiline variant that is less well known. In fact, this book cover is the first time it appears on Fonts In Use. Busorama Prisma was shown in 1973 by Photo-Lettering, the company that produced many of ITC’s fonts. Unlike the plain release, it came with a lowercase. I’m not aware of a digitization.
