| ELWOOD ROGER [EDITED] Continuum 1 and 2 (2 Books) W H Allen, U.K. 1975. First UK Edition, Hard Cover. Fine/Near Fine. Continuum 1 has 190 pages and Continuum 2 has 191 pages. "The first in a unique science fiction anthology series. Continuum I introduces a stunning new concept, here executed by eight of the foremost writers in the field. In the classic tradition of such fictional series as Bradbury's Martian Chronicles, Heinlein's Future History, McCaffrey's Weyr World, Farmer's Riverworld, these eight authors have created worlds to return to. Anne McCaffrey has newly made the World of the Crystal Singers, a god-forsaken colony planet of terrible dangers. Edgar Pangborn takes us to the post-holocaust Earth where his classic novel Davy was set. Poul Anderson's tale is set in his world of Orbit Unlimited. Philip Jose Farmer's contribution is a brand-new series, unrelated to Riverworld. Other writers, with other worlds, include Chad Oliver, Thomas Scortia, Dean Koontz and Gene Wolfe. Each story is the first in a series of four, complete in itself and yet leading on to further episodes. Each author will return to his or her new world in the volumes to follow in this series. Continuum 2 takes us back to those mysterious new worlds created by some of the foremost writers in the field, including Gene WoIfe, Edgar Pangborn, Poul Anderson, Thomas N. Scortia and Gail Kimberly. Anne McCaffrey revisits the world of Milekey Mountains-a dreadful, godforsaken colony planet where Killashandra, the Crystal Singer, is losing her capability for detecting the killer storms that will wreck her mind. Killashandra must return to the mountains, but how many more expeditions can she survive ? This one ? The next ? None can say, least of all Killashandra herself. Philip Jose Farmer, in 'Startouched', presents a further adventure of Paul Eyre, who has been contacted by an alien creature in the astonishing form of a beautiful woman with the hind parts of a Iion-a sphinx ! And in 'Stability', Chad Oliver brings the great lightship of Caravans, Unlimited to the primitive planet CapelIa VII, and confronts a man with a decision that a whole world hangs on. Each story is complete in itself, a separate entity, yet will lead on to further episodes when each author returns to his or her new world in the volumes to follow in this series."

Book Two - Fine - in green boards with gilt lettering - minor yellowing to page edges. Dust Jacket - Near Fine - some browning to verso and slight to back of jacket and spine.

| NORTON ANDRE Crystal Gryphon Gollancz, U.K. 1973. First Edition, Hard Cover. Fine [Better Than Very Good]/Near Fine [Better Than Very Go. 234 pages. "Kerovan lived apart from his fellows, for he had inherited the curse laid on his forebears and people feared to look on him. His feet did not have toes, but were small hooves, while his eyes were a strange butter-amber colour. When Kerovan was ten his father arranged for his marriage to Josian, though the two were not to meet until he was eighteen. Meanwhile, invaders came to Ulm by sea and, through guile and treachery, as well as force, overran much of the kingdom. In the disastrous times that followed, both Kerovan and Josian, as well as their people, were uprooted from their homes and sent fleeing. Although the two had still not met, a link was formed between them through a strange and beautiful crystal sphere in which a gryphon was engraved. Slowly their paths began to converge, and eventually they journeyed together to the farthest reaches of the wilderness, where only the Old Ones had lived, to save their people-and the world -from total destruction. In this absorbing and original book of sorcery and high adventure, Andre Norton once again demonstrates her unsurpassed gifts as an imaginative writer and a leader in the field of science fiction." Book - Fine [much better than Very Good]. Dust Jacket - Near Fine [better than Very Good] - nice and bright with just a half inch or so closed tear to the back top edge and just a tiny nick to the right hand top corner, red gryphon and black lettering to spine still bright.

| STAPLEDON OLAF Star Maker Methuen, U.K. 1937. First Edition, Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 'One moment a man sits on a suburban hill, gazing curiously at the stars. The next, he is whirling through the firmament, and perhaps the most remarkable of all science fiction journeys has begun.

Star Maker is a cornerstone work of science fiction.' xii, 339 pages, size 8 inches tall by 5.25 inches.
