Library Addition: Signed Limited Edition of New Worlds #1

Thursday, June 16th, 2022

I should point out that this is the new, new, new, new, new incarnation of New Worlds, this time as a hardback anthology series.

Gevers, Nick, and Peter Crowther, editors. New Worlds Issue #1. PS Publishing, 2021 (i.e., 2022). First edition hardback, #49 of 200 copies, a Fine copy in decorated boards and a Fine dust jacket, and a Fine embossed slipcase. Latest resurrection of this venerable UK fiction title, most famous for Michael Moorcock’s New Wave editorship in the 1960s, and Moorcock contributes a story (and signature) here, as do Alan Moore, Michael Swanwick, Ken MacLeod, James Lovegrove, Ian Watson, Ian R. MacLeod, etc. The trade paperback version came out last year, but this hardback edition is already out of print. Bought from the publisher at the usual discount.

I will have two copies of this to sell in the next Lame Excuse Books catalog (currently in progress).

Here’s the traycase the signed, limited edition comes in:

And here’s the book itself nestled snugly inside that traycase:

It was actually an unusually long journey for the anthology to be published, as one of the sets of signature sheets got lost in transit, which set back the publication timeline considerably.
