From Publishers Weekly
Originally a British science fiction magazine edited by Garnett, New Worlds is here reincarnated as a collection of short fiction, the first in a series of volumes. The variety presented ranges from the fantastic to the amusing to the chilling. Kim Newman muses on what would have happened if Superman's rocket had landed in the Black Forest instead of Smallville, U.S.A. The answer: Germany still loses the war--the last son of Krypton ``lost his taste for National Socialism when the stench of ovens was all he could smell.'' Storm Constantine envisions a brave new kind of computer hacker: one who ``hears'' the dreams of mainframes, one who can trap her lover's spirit in the emptiness of cyberspace. And Matthew Dickens conjures a world where people spend their lives falling from the sky, not knowing whether they will land on the mythical Earth or in Hell; quantum physics and religion are both turned topsy-turvy when an engineer propels himself down at the speed of light into a black hole. All in all, a breathtaking trip that would be even more impressive without the self-indulgently idiosyncratic black-and-white author photographs.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Trade paper original first edition, with "First published in Great Britain 1991" and no other printings on its copyright page. This lovely copy appears unread, and is in near fine condition, marred only by some traces of wear on cover edges, plus a small label on its back from a US book distributor. TWO authors -- Ian McDonald and Charles Stross -- have signed this book (with no personalization) on their story title page. McDonald also wrote "LOVE -- MUNGO", as an inscription from his cat "Mungo", which is pictured on the page. This book's binding is tight and square, with no reading creases in its spine or hinges. Other than the author signatures, its covers and pages are unmarked. As with all Space Age Book purchases, I will ship this book in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure it reaches its new owner in the same condition as my description. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 002272

Trade paperback original. First edition (& 1st printing). A worthy (but doomed) attempt in the early 1990s to relaunch NEW WORLDS magazine as an original paperback series: the first of just four issues published by Gollancz (before the series moved over the Atlantic to White Wolf, who published several further issues as well). Seven page introduction by Michael Moorcock (''Consultant editor''), 14-page ''SF Novels Of the Year'' by John Clute and four page afterword by the editor, plus ten stories by Brian W. Aldiss, Storm Constantine, Matthew Dickens, Paul di Filippo, J. D. Gresham, Simon Ings & Charles Stross, Ian McDonald, Kim Newman, Jay Summers and Moorcock himself. THIS COPY SIGNED BY ALL THIRTEEN CONTRIBUTORS ON THE TITLE PAGE (just one of them, Paul di Filippo, is a tipped-in signed label). NF/Fine copy. Seller Inventory # 13159
