    Love the SF Masterworks. Gollancz is doing fans a big service by keeping these books in print (and hopefully making money). They also have a fantasy line. Thanks for featuring these. Looking forward to your reviews.

      I think so too. Now if only several people emailed them to reprint Star of the Unborn by Werful we’d be in business!

    I've been getting these and other UK editions from blackwells. They ship to the US and its cheap.

      Maybe I’ll check them out if my dealer doesn’t come through again 💕 thank you!

    Like the sound of The Demolished Man. Donald E Westlake wrote a similar themed book Anarchaos that just happened to be set in the future so technically sci-fi

    Surprised that these don't cost $18 - $20 USD as I have never done the math; I had already found most of the ones you are offering or else I'd be your #1 customer.

      Some ended going for that much, since it was an auction, but I wanted to start them at cost. I do hope the dealer will get more, but this was a wonderful opportunity for me to get some and also share with my community 💕

    When you read Gene Wolfe, pay close attention to what you are reading

      That won’t be an issue but thank you for the reminder 💕

    Great stuff as always Bob! There is an estate sale nearby with lots of sci fi books but I am being responsible and spending time with my family visiting from Tennessee. Should they go out though I will be there lol

      Being responsible is one of the hardest things to do as an adult.

    The Demolished Man doesn’t happen “in space”-it’s just future Earth. Fun read.
    I’m a fan of the SF Masterworks series and have about 40 titles, most of which I bought in Bangkok when I lived in Thailand, because the bookstores there carry a lot of UK imprints.

    • @B0BsBooks

      Thank you for the correction! I’m not familiar with a lot of the titles I showed so any info is helpful.

    If you liked Paladin of Souls (Lois McMaster Bujold) you might enjoy Age of Myth (Michael J. Sullivan).
    More of a modern setting? Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead (Olga Tokarczuk).

      My friend Donna gave me the whole Age of Myth series, but I resold it, because when I read the summary it didn't seem interesting to me. Maybe that was a mistake...
