I have the good fortune (Neil Rest, computer freak, Random, soi disant
anarchofeminist, fan) to live in a city (Chicago) with an exceptional sf
bookstore (Stars Our Destination, run by the redoutable Alice Bentley
<alice@sfbooks.com>) which is in perennial danger of being overrun by its
Used Books section.
So for a while, I've been wondering about suggesting to this list some sort
of book-exchange or shoppping-service arrangement. I have no particular
organizational details in mind, more general friendly functionality. I
recently got a good copy of _Left Hand of Darkness_, with the original
Dillon cover; early Delaney turns up regularly; there's often a bunch of
Tepper. There was a complete run of the _Orbit_ series on the specials
shelf not too long ago.
What do people think?
