Joe315's Colleciton

They look great, love the sig too, kind of a calligraphy style.

He has great handwriting. I wish mine was 1/10th that good.

He self published this series. So I don't think it got much press around the web.

I have gotten some new stuff over the last couple of days. Sub Press edition of Embassytown, which I got a pretty good deal on. The standard limited (gift) edition of Joyland. My S/L is on the way hopefully. The 40th Anniversary UK edition of Clive Cussler's first book, Mayday. There will also be a US edition next month under the US name The Mediterranean Caper. And lastly The Eye of God by James Rollins, which is prepublication dated.

Great, Joe! Love all the editions. Can't wait for my own Joyland.

Goodness, I think I found my twin in book collecting. Did not know about Mayday (looks much nicer than the US edition), so glad to see your update, put in my order for the book!

Nice additions Joe. I have a signed Embassytown, 1st ed, that I am actually selling - read the paperback and couldn't get into it. Never read any Rollins, but that one caught me eye previously.

It's a very good looking book. The cover art is actually wrap around and I have a feeling it will be nicer then the US version.

Rollins is great. His books are mainly international thrillers involving a strange fact and lots of science and technology. His books were actually what got me really reading as I started my adult years. I always read I guess but not with the urgency I do now.

If you decide to pick one of his up start with Amazonia. Eye of God is part of his Sigma series which starts with Sandstorm, and there is a story arc that goes throughout whole series and jumping in at eye of god might be a bit confusing.

Nice additions, love Joyland! I've been meaning to check out Mieville at some point too.

Here's a better shot of the dust jacket.

Thanks for the info. I will keep that in mind if/when I decide to try him out.

Yeah I think the US edition looks like a copy and paste of the current paperback. FYI Joe, DUST SL is up on Goldsboro's website this morning if you don't have it preordered already.
