First edition hardback, a Near Fine- copy with remainder speckling at heel, bumping at heel and head, and what looks to be an extremely faint triangular sticker ghost to inside front cover near gutter, in a Near Fine dust jacket with slight bumping at head and heel, slight dust soiling to white rear dust jacket, and long, mild, non-breaking crease to inner edge of front flap. Story of two earthlings signing up for duty in an intergalactic war after first contact. "Working name of Mexican-born US translator and author José Mario Garry Ordoñez Edmondson y Cotton....T.H.E.M. (1974) – the acronym refers to Alien invaders known as the Theriomorphic Hellbent Enemy Mission, who subject Earth civilization to tough-love Uplift...fluently written..." - The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction.

First edition hardback, a Near Fine copy with non-authorial bookplate on FFE endpaper (as well as what appears to be a sticker removal remnant above it) and a small, thin, faint line of redness (possibly an eraser rub) on outer page block near bottom, in a Fine- dust jacket with slight edgewear at one point. Sequel to When Gravity Fails. This had a simultaneous trade paperback edition, and my recollection was that Foundation print runs for their simultaneous
hardbacks were relatively small when they did that.

First edition hardback, a Fine copy in a Near Fine+ dust jacket with one 1/16" tear to top front dj flap and small associated crease, slight edgewear at head, heel and points, and slight haze rubbing. Read once, by me. Third book in the When Gravity Fails series.

First edition hardback, a Fine copy in a Fine- dust jacket with a trace of edgewear at heel and a tiny wrinkle at top flap edge. All the short stories set in the same universe as When Gravity Fails, including the Hugo and Nebula-winning "Schrodinger's Kitten." Recommended.

Uncorrected proof of the hardback first edition, a
Fine- copy with spine fading. The third Maurid novel, and not a terribly
common proof.

Night Shade Press, 2010. Hardback. Fine/Fine. First U.S. edition hardback, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket, new and unread. Novel set in a post-theocracy Iran and a popular virtual reality game.

First American hardback edition (there are at least two binding variants (no priority known), and this is the version with a mottled teal spine), a Fine- copy with slight bend at head and heel in a Fine- dust jacket, with 1/16" closed tear on front cover near spine with small associated crease, and traces of wear at head, heel and points. Egan's first novel, one of quantum ontology in which the rest of the universe have blocked off our solar system because humans are the only beings in the known universe who collapse quantum wave function. The sort of novel that makes your brain hurt in all the right ways.

First edition hardback, one of 1000 numbered copies, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket, new and unread. "In a world not quite our own, every living thing is born into one of six discrete 'fractions' that are incompatible with—and often invisible to—each other. These fractions have coexisted peacefully for centuries, but now a disease has appeared that seems to drag the infected parts of the body into a different fraction. The effects are devastating. Individual victims suffer painful, protracted deaths. Entire communities turn against one another, and a state approaching perpetual war takes hold."

First edition hardback, a PC copy of 374 signed, numbered copies, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket and a Fine- slipcase where a few spots seem ever-so-slightly bumped; I'm probably being excessively picky. Previously uncollected stories. This limited edition adds four pieces ("Who Wilts the Lettuce?" (original 1957 typescript), "Blonde Cargo" (original 1958 typescript), "Weariness" (original 2005 typescript) and "Sensible City" (2009 revised version)) not in the trade edition. Long out of print from the publisher. No copy of either edition online at all right now.

First edition trade paperback original (simultaneous
with a very small hardback run), an Ex-Library copy with all the usual
flaws (stamps, interior stickers & pocket, exterior tape ghost)
etc., otherwise VG- with bent bottom back corner and spine fading.

as Isaac Asimov, Robert Silverberg, etc., as well as Leslie Swigart's
"Harlan Ellison: A Non-Fiction Checklist."

First hardback edition, first printing, one of 250 signed, numbered copies, a Fine copy in decorated boards, supposedly a second state "10th Anniversary Edition" binding sans dust jacket, as issue, with a CD of Harlan reading "Welcome to the Gulag," the introduction written for this edition laid in. All Ellison's TV essays and reviews written for The Los Angeles Free Press. Not having a copy of the original binding, I can't tell you how this 10th Anniversary edition binding differs from that. Now substantially more affordable than the originally announced price (which was $600). Only have one.
