Author: Today I received a Gollancz edition of The Palace Of Eternity which complete my (UK) hardback collection of Bob Shaw books.
It was a long time coming as this book is particularly rare; the only copies I have seen online have been selling for a couple of hundred pounds. So it was with some trepidation that I purchased a copy online for the princely sum of £27. However when the book arrived it was the real deal, a bit battered and bruised but a Gollancz edition, not a book club edition and not ex library.
nice work! shaw has been one of my favorite writers since my first encounter with his work in the 70s. my hardcover collection of his work is also now complete. the final volume, and the hardest to come by at the time, was Ship of Strangers. (my collection received an initial boost when i came across seven or eight of the gollancz titles, signed and unread, on the NYC Forbidden Planet $1 rack!)
