Book Hauls & Buddy Reads - Pick & Mix 32

[@ReadbyFred]

Hah, Michael has probably read some of them :) The Starblazer comics look pretty neat. I keep on telling myself I need to read sci-fi novels from the 70s and 80s, but I never seem to find the time for it. Have a great reading month Duncan, thanks for the video :)

Solar Pons just seems right in MKV's wheelhouse. I'm hoping to have a better reading month as I've been strugglin recently. Thankyou

Me too.

Oh great! I love Solar Pons and the Copper ones are fun - I think of them as a read for the darker, colder months for some reason. The PS books are lovely, very shelf worthy. I missed out on Starblazer unfortunately - those issues look great. Yeah World of Books are pretty random in their descriptions. I know what you mean about sequels that never appear - I've given up on the follow-up to Delany's Stars in My Pocket _Like Grains of Sand_. The Andromeda read sounds great!

PS publishing look like they have some really nice editions. There's an Interesting Silverberg collection and some Anthologies. I;m pretty sure they seem to have most of Basil Coppers output as well. Not my preferred medium but the ebooks are a good price as well. I need to like the Solar pons ones because I like the idea of the whole collection on my shelf because the Trade editions look so pretty. I'm a sucker for shiney things ....

World of Books have sent me several books that are good to very good and were just straight broken or mouldy 😑

[@backawayfromthedonkey]

I'm not convinced that they actually know the condition of their books. I think they just send them without referring to the condition stated in any listing. The thing is when I've had issues they respond and replace really quickly (I already have a replacement for the Stross book). They are not my first choice for online buying.

@ Agree 💯. I quite like the selection and site but it’s just the lack of quality control that let them down.
