I have picked up a lot of new titles. Some online and some locally.
These two books were written and published in New Brunswick in 1981 and 1982. I really liked the graphics of these b&w covers. Both also have interior illustrations.
Recently I read the first two volumes of Farmer"s World of Tiers series so I picked up volumes 4 & 5. I am still missing 3 of course.
I often find Reynolds exploration of economic and cultural themes interesting. Older SF tends to be so Libertarian a different perspective is refreshing.
Wyndham was actually covered when I was in public school and I read a lot of his works. I really like these Penguin editions with the image extending into the white borders. There is a great overview of Penguins SF covers here.
I could not resist this Moorcock cover.
My collecting began with HPL/Arkham House related items and Edgar Rice Burroughs, so I am still a sucker for a cover like this from Corgi.
If you follow my posts you know I like short stories and shorter novels. However I love Asher's Polarity series with it's Old Captains, War Drones, Golems, Gabbleducks, Runcibles, Dracomen, Haiman and Hooders. I will post on his books in more detail in the future.
