The Best Of All Possible Worlds by Spider Robinson Ace Books (1980) I love getting to post rare sf anthologies like this one. Get this, it's a collection where Robinson chose his favorite less-publicized scifi short stories, then asked each author in turn to choose their favorite short story. It's got authors such as Larry Niven, Theodore Sturgeon, Terry Carr, Robert Sheckley, and Robert Heinlein. Certainly a book I'd like to add to my personal collection someday. . Overall Good Condition, Good Spine With Some Light Creases, Binding Tight, Pages Look Good . . . #thebestofallpossibleworlds #spiderrobinson #paperbacksciencefiction #sciencefiction #robertsheckley #instabooks #bookstagram #instabookstagram #paperback #bookcollector #bookstore #science #scifi #terrycarr #bookaddict #theodoresturgeon #bookish #larryniven #anthology #shortstories #robertheinlein #robertaheinlein #syfy #scifibooks #acebooks #acesciencefiction https://www.instagram.com/p/CP0Zr9ZroBs/?utm_medium=tumblr

Callahan's Lady by Spider Robinson Ace Books (1990) Ben Bova has said that "Nobody's perfect. But Spider comes pretty damned close." and I agree with that. It only took me reading a single short story by Spider Robinson to get me hooked on his words. I would argue that he has a cult following at this point because him fans are very dedicated to his works. I'm always very proud to offer his books for sale here when I get them. The cover artist is James Warhola. .

Telempath by Spider Robinson $5 Berkley Books (1977) Spider Robinson's first full length novel is an absolute gem. Isham Stone is the second-best assassin left in a shattered world. He's many miles from home, half-dead, his left arm is gangrenous, and he possesses--like everyone else--a sense of smell 1000 times better than a wolf's. Ahead of him, in the stinking ruins of New York, hides Carlson, the greatest killer of all time. All Isham has to do is stay alive long enough to find Carlson and kill him. But Carlson is guarded by ghosts. They rode the winds when Earth was bubbling rock, shared the world with men for a million years, and though we sensed their presence we never truly believed in them--for in our arrogance we assumed life was an exclusive property of solids and liquids... Now they've declared war on us, and our species is nearly annihilated...thanks to the man Isham has come to kill. The cover artist is unfortunately not credited. . Overall Good Condition, Pages Look Great, Spine Looks Great, Shelf Wear, Binding Tight . . . #telempath #spiderrobinson #paperbacksciencefiction https://www.instagram.com/p/CC_S4VRg03h/?igshid=1bhk0j4dhodcu

The Star Dancers by Spider & Jeanne Robinson $4 Baen Books (1997) Shara Drummond was a gifted dancer and a brilliant choreographer, but stood over six feet tall and had the body of Venus di Milo. On Earth she could not pursue her dream of dancing, so she left the Earth, and in the weightlessness of space created an art form that is to Dance as three dimensions are to two. Then the aliens arrived.... Goodness, love, connection, truth... all are possible. All are present in all of us, we just have to let go and accept them. Cover art by Gary Ruddell. .
