Three more paperback originals added to the library, all from DFW used book stores. <\/p>\n

  • Brunner, John. Wear the Butcher’s Medal<\/b>. Pocket Books, 1965. First edition paperback original (“First printing……..May, 1965,” as Per Currey), a Very Good copy with spine creasing, foxing to inside covers, and slight wear at points, one crease and a few small indentations to rear cover, otherwise a fairly nice copy. Looks like a mainstream thriller in the mode of Geoffrey Household’s Rogue Male<\/b>. Like Philip K. Dick, Brunner wrote several novels outside the SF\/F\/H genre, but unlike Dick, managed to get them published in his lifetime, though none seemed to make much of an impression. Currey, page 74. De Bolt, The Happening Worlds of John Brunner<\/b>, page 23. Bought from Half Price Books for $2.99.\n

  • Lee, Tanith. Red as Blood, or Tales from the Sisters Grimmer<\/b>. DAW, 1983. First edition paperback original, a Near Fine copy with one faint spine crease, previous owner’s name on blurb page, and slight edgewear. Supplements a copy of the SFBC (first hardback) edition. Bought from Lucky Dog Books for $2.50.\n

  • Niven, Larry. Ringworld<\/b>. Ballantine Books, 1970. First edition paperback original (“First Printing: October 1970,” as per Currey, a Very Good- copy with 1\/4″ chip to top front corner, and another 3\/4″ x 1\/16″ chip to middle of front cover edge, spine crease, pages brittle, and a few pinpoint spots of soiling to page block edges, plus a few other spots of wear. Hugo and Nebula winner for Best Novel. Currey, page 387. Pringle, Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction<\/b>, page 262 (“***”). Barron, Anatomy of Wonder 4<\/b> *4-316. Magill, Survey of Science Fiction Literature<\/b>, pages 1799-1804. The true first edition and the one in which Niven infamously had the earth rotating the wrong way. Supplements a copy of the Gollancz hardback first. Bought for $4.99.\n
