I picked up the Russell not too long ago - I think it was at a library book sale for a buck or two. It had been on my List for a long time, too. If you want it because you want it, then you gotta have it but if you want it for sheer reading experience, I'd recommend it but it's not so great that your life is a pale husk until you get it.

As opposed to my Russell buck, though...



I only need 154 bucks at a minimum to get partly crappy partly used versions of these. I'd even break down and get the frigging pixels at this point if I could find non-DRM'ed copies. Ain't no power in the 'verse can make me get a DRM'ed ebook, not even a Bruce Sterling collection.

good,good,good cover on the Reynolds one
If i were an author,i'd want that one on my magnum opus

CA Smith,Pennington cover \Me want

There are still 3 issues of "Unknown (Worlds) Magazine" missing from my collection.
The one time one of my book dealers had them in his catalogue it arrived on Tuesday.
It should have come on the previous Saturday, of course by then they were gone.
AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Analog serialisations of Dune World and The Prophet of Dune. Oh and a signed first edition of Dune.

REF:Vince W
I think the Analog serialisations of Dune were issued in the rare Glossy (A4?) issues.

I'm not sure about that. The images I've seen of them are fairly matte looking.
