The Dreaming Void by Peter F. Hamilton (author of the Reality Dysfunction, The Neutronium Alchemist, the Naked God) Hardcover First Edition - Limited Issue MacMillan UK 2007. Signed Limited Edition, purportedly 1000 copies signed and numbered in slipcase. Brand New, still in shrink-wrap! Since this copy is still in its original shrink-wrap, I can't verify which number of the 1000. NOTE: The picture is the actual item for sale. (The picture is NOT a stock photo.)

Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein (author of "Stranger in a Strange Land", "Rocket Ship Galileo", and "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress") Limited Hardcover Artist Edition Suntup Press 2021 illustrated by Thomas Canty in a limited edition of 750 copies in slipcase. Fine as NEW in shrink-wrap.
NOTE: The original first edition of Stranger in a Strange Land was published in 1961 by G.P. Putnam's Sons US. It is regarded as one of a handful of science fiction novels which pushed on the boundaries of sf from being merely an escapist genre into higher literature. (Dune by Frank Herbert, some of the work of Philip K. Dick and Ursula Le Guin also pushed the genre creating a sub-genre of literary science fiction.) First edition copies in fine condition generally fetch about $4000+ so this is a wonderful alternative and probably the best edition of this book ever published. This title is regarded as one of quite possibly Heinlein's best novel and one of his most popular.

Duncton Found by William Horwood (third volume of The Duncton Chronicles including Duncton Wood and Duncton Quest, similar idea to Watership Down by Richard Adams) Hardcover First Edition - First Printing Century UK 1989.
Fine- in Fine- Dust Jacket. A really beautiful copy, covers solid and clean, corners sharp, pages clean, slight toning to the page edges of the text block, which is common for these UK books from the 1980's to 1990's, and a slight hint of a crinkle to the lower bottom right-hand corner of the front, barely noticeable, else fine. A wonderful and chunky book, clocking in at 777 pages.
NOTE: All modern books with dust jackets come with dust jacket covers.

Duncton Wood first book of the Duncton series (somewhat similar to Watership Down by Richard Adams) by William Horwood Hardcover First Edition - First Printing Country Life Books UK with stunning wrap-around dust jacket art by Douglas Hill. It's been described as Lord of the Rings meets Watership Down.
Fine- in Near Fine Dust Jacket. A good clean copy overall, book itself is quite nice with straight corners and clean boards, just a hint of very light spotting to the top of the text-block otherwise would be fine. The dust jacket is mostly bright and clean, nicks to corners, some edge-wear to heel and back bottom edge, and a closed tear to bottom front left-hand corner which has been repaired with professional adhesive. Still a relatively nice copy of a fairly uncommon book in the first edition. Later published in the US by McGraw-Hill with much less remarkable dust jacket art and is much more common. Perfect copies tend to be priced at $200+.NOTE: All modern books with dust jackets come with dust… Read More

have been several hardcover editions of the original Howard stories,
none considered definitive as far as I know. They first appeared in the
pulps, primarily Weird Tales, and were never released in book form during
Howard's lifetime. The first hardcover book editions of Howard were
published in the 1940's such as Skull-Face and Others issued by Arkham
House and then the Conan books by Gnome Press in the 1950's, although… Read More
