        I do like his early works a lot, whether that's just due to the fact that it was my father who introduced me to his work and he has everything from Generation X up to Life after God. Then I bought him every subsequent book (it's very easy to buy presents for book lovers :)) I don't know. I reckon that girlfriend in a coma has the best ending of any book I have ever read…

            A friend just bought me a William Gibson Trilogy (Pattern Recognition, Zero History and Spook Country). Looking forward to giving them a try as they come so highly recommended and seem so relevant to the things we all love.

                        I paid £100 for it new, that was why it was so difficult to get! Remember when it was sixty quid on amazon :-(. Went in the maha shop but hardy is refusing to sell them directly now 😞 local shop in Kingston still had a few copies in their warehouse! There is still one left as far as I know if anyone is interested but I was told that there is some damage to the cover. If so let me know and I will go in to the shop and have a chat with them and pick it up. Really great book!!!!

                                    Silk covered book from Japan. Granddad gave this to me. It was written for western tourists in the mid-1930s and details a number of different aspects of Japanese culture. It is bound by the teeth of some sea animal, can't recall what. The pages are vellum-like and folded over rather than single sheets.

                                    Another one from granddad, this by Nissan as a goodwill gift for a town in the US where they were building a factory.

                                    I'm having difficulty trying to find my favorite, a volume of woodblock prints. Will post when I find it.

                                    Think it, be it.
