Swanwick, Michael: Stations Of The Tide. 17696
William Morrow: NY. 1991.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Winner of the 1991 Nebula award for best novel. INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR.
''takes place centuries hence and far from Earth, on a planet quarantined from the higher technologies now controlled by a far-flung humanity. After a Prometheus/Caliban figure has stolen some of these technologies from the interstellar network that monitors quarantine, the protagonist descends to the planet, which is due to suffer a vast periodic climatic transformation, traces the ''thief'', and apprehends what it is necessary for him to apprehend -- the knowledge, the meaning of life on the planet, the meaning of his own existence, and a sense of how best (he is a Prospero figure) to relieve himself of power and servants. The complexity of this brief, dense, and fast-moving book is very considerable; and the interstellar network -- whose HQ takes the shape of a Renaissance Theatre of Memory -- is convincing in its own right and as a focus for the author's continued speculations about the refractions of identity in a world where autonomous subset personality-copies held on computers (they resemble the ''partials'' in Greg Bear's Eon [1985]) do much of the work of being human'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).
Fine copy in a fine dustjacket (as new) but for light spotting along the top page edges.

Swanwick, Michael: The Dragon's Of Babel. 24268
Tor: NY. 2008.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Uncorrected book proof (trade paperback).
Sequel to THE IRON DRAGON'S DAUGHTER (1993).
''A war-dragon of Babel crashes in the idyllic fields of a post-industrialized Faerie and, dragging himself into the nearest village, declares himself king and makes young Will his lieutenant. Nightly, he crawls inside the young fey's brain to get a measure of what his subjects think. Forced out of his village, Will travels with female centaur soldiers, witnesses the violent clash of giants, and acquires a surrogate daughter, Esme, who has no knowledge of the past and may be immortal. Evacuated to the Tower of Babel -- infinitely high, infinitely vulgar, very much like New York City -- Will meets the confidence trickster Nat Whilk. Inside the Dread Tower, Will becomes a hero to the homeless living in the tunnels under the city, rises as an underling to a politician, and meets his one true love - a high-elven woman he dare not aspire to.''

Swanwick, Michael: Vacuum Flowers. 25049
Arbor House: NY. 1987.
First edition (& 1st printing).
PRESENTATION COPY, WARMLY INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR.
''cogently combines a tour-of-the-Solar-System plot-carrying the reader downward from the corporation-dominated asteroid belt to an AI-run Earth -- with a dense load of extrapolation about the nature of identity when persona-chips can be bought and plugged in. The protagonist, a persona bum who has hijacked an attractive new identity for herself, runs an extremely complex gamut before turning-perhaps inevitably in Swanwick's work -- towards transcendence'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).
Fine copy in a fine dustjacket (as new).
