I came across this in a Half Price Books store, and was either unaware it existed or had forgotten about it. <\/p>\n

Crowley, John. Great Work of Time<\/b>. Bantam, 1991. First edition paperback original thus and first separate edition, originally published as one of four novellas in Novelty<\/b> two years before, a Fine- copy with edgewear. His World Fantasy Award-winning time travel novel, it which an initial time travel effort to keep the British Empire intact eventually results in radical<\/i> changes up the line. Bought from Half Price Books for $1.79. <\/p>\n

Note that I still have copies of the signed, limited hardback edition<\/a> available through Lame Excuse Books<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
