Adams, Richard Shardik
New York, New York, U.S.A. Overlook Duckworth 2002 0715633317 / 9780715633311 Soft Cover Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Fine trade paperback book, no dust jacket (as issued); never having been read and as new, the book is clean, tight, square, and free of any markings; the cover (wrap) is free of any creases and in similarly fine condition; 604 pages. Originally published in 1974, Adams's second novel after the stellar debut of "Watership Down" is a much deeper, violent and brutal novel-- much removed from the light-hearted rabbit world of "Watership Down" --but no less gripping. This fantasy deals with a barbaric tribe awaiting the reincarnation of a mighty-bear god and explores our desire to touch the divine.

And if that doesn't take enough of Mercy's attention, her friend Samuel is struggling with his wolf side-leaving Mercy to cover for him, lest his own father declare Sam's life forfeit. All in all, Mercy has had better days. And if she isn't careful, she might not have many more to live... " (Quoted material from publisher)

Doctorow, Cory Makers
New York, New York, U.S.A. Tor Books 2009 0765312794 / 9780765312792 First Edition Hard Cover Near Fine Very Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Near fine hardcover book in very good to near fine dust jacket; book is clean, tight, square, and free of any markings showing very light bumping to the board edges and very light evidence of having been gently read; unclipped dust jacket shows very light shelf wear and a light crease to the rear, inside flap; book and jacket now protected by newly applied Brodart clear cover; 416 pages; first printing of first edition. "Perry and Lester invent things-- seashell robots that make toast, Boogie Woogie Elmo dolls that drive cars. They also invent entirely new economic systems, like the "New Work"-- a New Deal for the technological era. Barefoot bankers cross the nation, microinvesting in high-tech communal mini-startups like Perry and Lester’s. Together, they transform the country, and Andrea Fleeks, a journo-turned-blogger, is there to document it. Then it slides into collapse. The New Work bust puts the dot.combomb to shame. Perry and Lester build a network of interactive rides in abandoned Wal-Marts across the land. As their rides, which commemorate the New Work’s glory days, gain in popularity, a rogue Disney executive grows jealous, and convinces the police that Perry and Lester’s 3D printers are being used to run off AK-47s. Hordes of goths descend on the shantytown built by the New Workers, joining the cult. Lawsuits multiply as venture capitalists take on a new investment strategy: backing litigation against companies like Disney. Lester and Perry’s friendship falls to pieces when Lester gets the ‘fatkins’ treatment, turning him into a sybaritic gigolo. Then things get really interesting." (Quoted material from dust jacket)
