I read a lot of his short stories back in the day, and I always liked his sense of humor.
This pic shows a box of books that were packed up in 1989 and left unopened at my parents' house until 2019, when I found it again.
I took a few of them home with me, including the Sheckley Omnibus, but most went to the local charity store - they weigh too much to bring back to the US these days.

Yes, I've never read anything by her that I know of, but $40 for 800+ pages is a heckuva deal.
I bought the Sheckley book too (Mindswap) and it was a good read. I probably read it back in the '80s or early '90s, and I didn't remember a thing about it. I can see why some people wouldn't like it, but I found it a fun piece of social commentary.

Just got both of my books from SubPress and couldn't find any dings. The covers looked perfect, and they had the signed signature sheets. Can't believe these were returned!

My GILA! arrived a couple days ago as well...as always with Centipede, it looks great!
EDIT: …and my Sub Press dinged copies, too, are stellar!Last edited by RonClinton; 06-21-2025, 02:43 AM.

Just received my copy of Gila! That dustjacket is so much fun! Wasn't expecting the backflap to have that additional art! Can't wait to read this soon.Last edited by sholloman81; 06-18-2025, 07:14 PM.

Hadn't heard of Mindswap before this week's Centipede newsletter. Nor sure if it will be for me as I keep seeing its humor mentioned in reviews and also saw someone compare it to Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy which I didn't enjoy. Maybe the production values or Paul's description of the book will sway me.

Anyways, I'm in for Gila! as well. Looks like a bonkers good time and the price point is under $100, so I'm happy.
