Library Additions: Lansdale, Sterling Firsts

Friday, January 9th, 2026

Two more Houston Half Price Books finds, the only connection being two Texas authors I know personally.

  • Lansdale, Joe R. Freezer Burn. Mysterious Press, 1999. Advanced Reading Copy, trade paperback format, of the trade hardback first edition, a Fine- copy, with slight wear at corners. Supplements the Crossroad Press signed, limited, true first edition. Bought for $9.99.

  • Sterling, Bruce. Schismatrix Plus. SFBC, 2006. First hardback edition, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. Part of SFBC’s 50th Anniversary Collection. Honestly, I wasn’t even aware they had done this until I chanced across it. Supplements the trade paperback original and the hardback firsts of Schismatrix and Crystal Express. Bought for $4.99.

    Library Addition: ARC of Robert Silverberg’s Time and Time Again

    Thursday, September 13th, 2018

    Saw someone mention this book on Facebook and went out and found an ARC of it:

    Silverberg, Robert. Time and Time Again. Three Rooms Press, 2018. Advanced Reading Copy of the trade paperback original first edition, a Fine copy, new and unread. All Silverberg’s time travel stories in one place. Bought for $9.99 off eBay.

    There was evidently a signed “preview” edition sold at this year’s Worldcon (which I no longer attend), which I may have track down at some point, but this ARC precedes the preview edition.
