Eagle's Path: Initial Baycon haul (2004-05-29)

The dealer room at Baycon this year has been good to me. I would have liked to be able to find some more fantasy and some more recent stuff, since the new book selection and the used selection that isn't classic SF is a bit limited, but I've still been able to find quite a lot.

There will be more; there are some things that I'm going to pick up tomorrow that I haven't yet for a variety of reasons. But here's what I've gotten so far:

C.J. Cherryh -- The Faded Sun: Kutath (sff)
C.J. Cherryh -- The Faded Sun: Shon'jir (sff)

It occurs to me that you might quite like going to the Friends of the Palo Alto Library booksales. They have a fairly good selection of sf books (amongst the many other things); it's the main way that Suzanne and I have been building up our collection for the past few years.

Thanks! I'm a member, and keep meaning to go, but haven't actually gone yet. It's often hard for me to get out to things like that without some advance planning, and I wasn't sure how good they'd be. But with that knowledge, I think I'll prod myself to do it.

_The Speed of Dark_, _A World out of Time_ and _The Moon is a Harsh Mistress_ are similar in one way: they're quite different from anything else that author has ever written, and much better for it.
