<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\nSo on a whim I decided to go to my favourite secondhand bookstore in Amsterdam, only to find they’d just gotten a shedload of science fiction\/fantasy in as well as added a new comics section. This led me to getting slightly more books than I’d counted on.\n<\/p>\n
\nBut at least I got a lot of books I’d been looking for for donkeys. Tricia Sullivan’s Maul<\/cite> for one, as well as Dreaming in Smoke<\/cite>, sound Mind<\/cite> and Someone to Watch over Me<\/cite>. There’s Justina Robson’s Mappa Mundi<\/cite> and Robert Reed’s Down the Bright Way<\/cite>, as recommended by Jo Walton<\/a>, several Bruce Sterling books (Crystal Express<\/cite>, Zeitgeist<\/cite> and A Good Old-Fashioned Future<\/cite>), the last in a John Meaney trilogy (Resolution<\/cite>) I needed, two Greg Egan books: Quarantine<\/cite>, Oceanic<\/cite> and one of K. W. Jeter’s steampunk novels (Infernal Devices<\/cite>).\n<\/p>\n \nI also got Tanya Huff’s complete Blood …<\/cite> series, a lot of Elizabeth Bear’s Promothean Age<\/cite> novels (as well as her science fiction novel Undertow<\/cite>) not to mention some more Gwyneth Jones books: Rainbow Bridge<\/cite>, White Queen<\/cite> and Divine Endurance<\/cite> as well as a Juanita Coulson novel, Star Sister<\/cite> to try out and perhaps review for SF Mistressworks<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n \nComics wise it was a mixed bag: two Pete Bagge collections of early, Neat Stuff<\/cite> work, an Marvel Essential Hulk collection, How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way<\/cite>, two volumes of Russell: the Saga of a Peaceful Man<\/cite>, A Smithonian Book of Comic-Book Comics, a thick slab of Strontium Dog, Oscar Zarate’s It’s Dark in London<\/cite>, a Samuel Delany adaptation, Bread and Wine<\/cite> and finally, Kyle Baker Cartoonist Volume 2<\/cite>.\n<\/p>\n \nAnd then I got home and the latest volume in Kevin O’Neill and Alan Moore’s League of Extraordinary Gentlemen<\/cite> was waiting for me…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So on a whim I decided to go to my favourite secondhand bookstore in Amsterdam, only to find they’d just gotten a shedload of science fiction\/fantasy in as well as added a new comics section.
