Also by Ira Levin This Perfect Day The author of Rosemary's Baby, which made the supernatural terrors of the past a gripping reality for millions of readers, hos now written a novel about the nightmarish future—equally compel- ing, and even more terrifyingly real. THIS PER- FECT DAY is a masterful strory of suspense and love and adventure shaped and underlaid by thought-provoking social inquiry; it is a bestseller that “outshines Orwell's 1984,” said Book Week. “Absorbing from the start to finish . . . Full of sur- prises, reversals, and exciting scenes of violance.”         —Book of the Month Club News A FAWCETT CREST BOOK Q 1973     $1.50 (Fawcett logo) Wherever Paperbacks are sold (blurb in small print about ordering by mail)
