Arrival today, a cyberpunk-adjacent tale from Michael Swanwick. His debut novel from 1985, it didn’t appear in the UK until 1989 in this rather lovely hardback from Legend. #scifibooks #sciencefiction #bookcollecting

I’m not one to boast, but I was at Swanwick Marina today to buy this beauty. No apologies, I’ve worked hard all my life and this has always been a dream. I’m going to rent it out so if interested let me know. It’s the one with the dark blue cover at the bottom of this picture.

Okay, well, today was meant to be a non-working day because I allocated it to recovering from a colonoscopy, but I still accidentally farted out a thousand words.

Another arrival, another cyberpunk acquisition target achieved. I read the paperback earlier this year, very vivid. In my humble opinion, the cover on the UK paperback is a better artwork, but a 1st edition is a 1st edition. #scifibooks #sciencefiction #bookcollecting #cyberpunk
