About this Item

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.

About this title

Synopsis

Book by unknown

Reviews

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.

Sale & Shipping Terms

Terms of Sale

Terms of Sale are per ABE Books standards and your national consumer laws.

Shipping Terms

Items will be carefully packaged to assure they arrive as described.
All shipments will be via US Postal Service unless requested otherwise. Standard shipping within the USA will be via USPS Media Mail. Priority shipping within the USA will be via USPS First Class Mail.
My current Standard shipping rate within the USA is US$4.00 for the first book, and US$2.00 for additional books in the same order.
There are two situations where I will refund to the buyer a portion of the postage charged by ABEBOOKS: (1) Separate orders placed on the same date for shipment to the same address will be shipped together, so I will refund half of the postage paid for the first book in each such second and subsequent order. And (2) Books described as "paperbacks" in my descriptions weigh less than other books, so I will refund US$1.00 of the paid shipping fee for the 2nd and subsequent paperbacks in the same order shipping to the same address.
Please contact me via ABE if you have any questions or special requests about packing and shipment, such as insurance or shipment by carriers other than US Postal Service. I will be happy to work with you if my standard policies need adjustment or exceptions.
