Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson (author of Snow Crash) Hardcover First Edition - First Printing Avon Books 1999. $27.50 cover price, number-line on copyright page down to "1". Fine in Fine Dust Jacket. An excellent copy granted it's it's chunky nature often prevents it from being in fine condition. The boards are clean, corners straight, pages quite clean, tiniest hint of aging to the text-block edges on the top but minimal. Dust jacket is completely intact, NO tears, just a hint of speckling to the title which is common with this edition. A very clean and smart copy of an uncommon book. NOTE: All modern books with dust jackets come with dust jacket covers.

he Neverending Story by Michael Ende (Die endliche Geschichte the original title in German) Hardcover First US Edition - First Printing New York: Knopf US, 1983. states "First Edition" on copyright page. $15.95 cover price. Text in green and red with illustrations interspersed throughout.
Fine in Near Fine Dust jacket. A notoriously difficult book to find in nearly perfect jacket. The book itself is essentially fine with sharp corners and clean boards, just a hint of toning to the text-block. This jacket is better than most copies I've seen, NO chips, and NO fading to the spine but typical rubbing at the edges, some crinkling to the top spine, and closed slits at the upper edges. Definitely a nice copy.

Night Boat by Robert R. McCammon (author of Swan Song) First Hardcover Edition
Kinnell UK 1990 (true first was a paperback original issued from Avon
Books in 1980) Signed by McCammon on the title page. Fine in Fine Dust
Jacket. An absolutely superior copy in every way, appears NEW and
UNREAD. The pages are almost pure white, the binding is solid and clean.
Tiny hint of tenderness to the lower front corner, else a perfect copy.
Looks like it came right from a new bookshop in London in 1990.NOTE
on edition: This book was a paperback original published in 1980 by
Avon Books. Kinnell published the book in hardcover which was the only
hardcover trade edition of this book in English for nearly 25 years
(except for a book club edition) until Subterranean Press released a
signed-limited in 2013. For some reason, I still like the artwork on the
UK edition better than that of the later Sub Press edition.NOTE: All modern books with dust jackets come with dust jacket covers.ALSO: The picture is of the… Read More

Five-Volume Amber First Chronicles First Edition Set, except for Nine Princes which is a second edition issued by a small press in a limited run. Two books are signed by Zelazny!
Nine Princes in Amber by Roger Zelazny (author of Lord of Light) Hardcover Second Edition - First Printing Boston: Gregg Press, 1979. Wrap-around dust jacket artwork, a frontispiece plate, and three additional b&w plates by Freff. The only edition of the first Chronicles of Amber illustrated. (true first edition Doubleday, 1970) Black boards in a two color blue and black wrap-around artwork jacket. Copyright page with 1970 and states "First Printing, 1979" Fine in Fine- Dust Jacket with just a bit of rubbing at corners and extremities, but still an exceptionally nice copy. In my opinion the best edition of this book, and more difficult to find than the Doubleday first edition. Probably issued in only 500 to 1000 copies at most.
Note on Edition: Many of the original first printing copies of Nine Princes in Amber issued by… Read More

Fine- in Near Fine+ Dust Jacket. A really nice copy, the book itself is near perfect, clean pages, clean boards, sharp corners, except some ghost marks on the ffep. The dust jacket is for the most part quite clean and bright, NO tearing, some slight toning here and there, which is typical of this edition. Still a beautiful copy, not often found as such.
William Burroughs was a member of a small group of Beat Literature writers which included Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. They would influence the so-called Beatniks and eventually the Hippies.
