I was in Minneapolis in early March (right before everything went into lockdown), and I had a chance to drop by Dreamhaven Books and pick up a few things. Here are the unsigned books I bought.<\/p>\n

  • Blish, James. Black Easter<\/b>. Doubleday, 1968. An Ex-library copy I bought for $4 for the quite bright Near Fine+ dust jacket to marry to another copy.\n
  • Dick, Philip K. Mary and the Giant<\/b>. Arbor House, 1987. First edition hardback, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. For some reason I ended up with a copy of the UK first edition and<\/i> the Ultramarine Press leather-bound-with-the-cancelled check<\/a> edition, but never picked up the American trade edition (the true first) until now. Precious Artifacts<\/b>, MS5.2. Bought for $20.\n
  • Dozois, Gardner. The Year’s Best Science Fiction: Thirtieth Annual Collection<\/b>. St. Martin’s, 2013. First edition hardback, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. Bought for cover price minus 20%. The remaining volumes I lack are 15, 23, 24, 27 and 28.\n
  • Martin, George R. R. Nightflyers<\/b>. Bluejay Books, no date (but 1985). First edition uncorrected proof of the trade paperback original, a Near Fine+ copy with blue bunching along front spine (not uncommon among proofs), and a 1″ square dragon stamp in red at top right corner of half title page. Bought for I think $16.\n
