littlerdog.livejournal.comA trip to a nearby town to spend money on Christmas on what they're calling Panic Saturday but which was actually OHMYGOD CRUSH SATURDAY was diverted to the secondhand book stall in the market that has SF books.
Four acquisitions this time, for a total of £2.20.
Let the Fire Fall by Kate Wilhelm;
Juniper Time by Kate Wilhelm (with a badly creased cover);
The World Swappers by John Brunner
and
The Wrong End of Time, also by Brunner.
World Swappers was published in 1959 and is priced at 50c. Someone's stuck a British price label on the back--it reads 1/3. One and three. One shilling and threepence. Usually I remove price stickers but this one's historical. I may keep it.
This is one of Brunner's early novels, but not his earliest. I've had a soft spot for his books ever since Telepathist turned me onto Science Fiction at an early age.
