More books from that recent estate purchase<\/a>.<\/p>\n

  • Haldeman, Joe. Worlds: A Novel of the Near Future<\/b>. Viking, 1981. First edition hardback, a Near Fine+ copy with two tackhead sized spots to rear boards, slight spotting to bottom page block and slightly dusty top page block, in a Near Fine+ dust jacket with a faint crease at top spine. Completes my collection of the Worlds trilogy.\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

  • Liu, Cixin. The Dark Forest<\/b> Tor, 2015. First edition hardback thus and first English language edition, a Fine-\/Fine- copy with slight bumping at head, heel and points. Sequel to The Three-Body Problem<\/b> and second in the Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy. One of the books I noticed in the collection was a hardback copy of The Three-Body Problem<\/b>, but it and Death’s End<\/b> were later printings, but this was a true first. What I didn’t realize was that firsts of this seem quite pricey as well.\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

  • McDonald, Ian. Luna: New Moon<\/b>. Tor, 2015. First hardback edition (the Gollancz trade paperback edition evidently precedes by five days), a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. First in the Luna trilogy. I’m way behind on my McDonald, and haven’t even read the Everness trilogy (the one before this one) yet.\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

  • McDonald, Ian. Luna: Wolf Moon<\/b>. Tor, 2017. First hardback edition (the Gollancz trade paperback edition of this also evidently precedes by five days), a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. Second in the Luna trilogy.\n
