I got back into Ebay recently. I bought some things years ago but lost both user name and password so I couldn\u2019t get back into that account. I created a new account and only purchased a hardback edition of Vertigo by Bob Shaw \u2013 which turned out to be ex library.<\/p>\n
Recently I\u2019ve used Ebay a little more, getting a comic \u2013 which when I got it and flicked through realised I\u2019d already bought before; most likely from Ebay a few years ago on the other account \u2013 a Philip Jose Farmer novel and some Doc Savage novels, though some of the latter are still pending. <\/p>\n
The Philip Jose Farmer one, A Feast Unknown, was bought probably late eighties early nineties and might even have been the first Philip Farmer I read (excluding his biographies of Tarzan and Doc Savage). It was bought from the Bookshop in Dunfermline, now long gone, and I remember flicking through it and noticing that Theodore Sturgeon had written an afterword. Having Sturgeon writing an afterword was the equivalent of Five Michelin stars in my eyes and I bought the book straight away, read and enjoyed it. However, I can\u2019t for the life of me find the copy in my books. I do know I\u2019ve lent out books and not got them back but I don\u2019t recall lending that book out. I do recall lending out a book of his short stories which I don\u2019t seem to have either. Getting the new copy of A Feast Unknown I\u2019ve started reading it again and have went about a third of the way through in one sitting \u2013 it really is a rattling good read.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
