Description: SHIPPING: Please see my feedback for shipping practices and service. I do not profit on shipping, and in most cases, the amount charged is less than I actually pay. I pack securely, well protected and with care. If you choose PRIORITY MAIL, should there be any excess overage $ after shipping, I'll send back a partial refund. I have a very large collection of books spanning many topics. A massive gathering of Philip K Dick titles and editions, as well as fine press, signed limited editions, modern firsts, radical movement and conceptual art items. I encourage you to browse my store and categories for a wide range of unique, quality offerings. Condition: HANDMADE HAND-SEWN CHAPBOOK. The Nepalese lotka paper is strikingly beautiful, please note the rough edges. This appears new and unread. Solid FINE condition. See description and images for overview. Book is preserved in an acid-free archival bag with backing board. Gift or collection quality. About: Edition limited to only 125 copies (101 offered to the public), of which this is numbered 96. Signed both contributors, Michael Swanwick and Greer Gilman. The Lonely and the Rum is a conversation between Greer Gilman and Michael Swanwick, that was part of the virtual programming for Boskone 2021. These two masters of fantasy explored the virtues and dissimilarities of the works of P. L. Travers, Stella Benson, Tove Jansson, and Sylvia Townsend Warner, among others. The only limit was the 50-minute programming cutoff. The transcript was lightly edited by Swanwick and Gilman. The wrappers are silkscreened lokta paper from Nepal, with a cover illustration by Susan McAninley. I will happily answer any further questions. Making offers: I certainly can appreciate wanting a better deal, and I've made offers myself on my own purchases. To be up front, if and when you make an offer, I will automatically reject crazy low "give it away" offers. Best not to waste our time. With a more reasonable offer, I will review current pricing for other comparable items out there and either accept, counter or decline submitted offer. If in that review, I find my pricing is already LOW and outdated, I may then increase the price to bring more in line with other offerings. I spend a lot of time sourcing the best offerings, preparing the listings with images and clear descriptions, and price fairly in MOST cases. I remain grateful to all who consider my offerings, and I look forward to serving your needs respectfully and with success. Shipping: International buyers -- I utilize the eBay INTERNATIONAL Shipping Program, having found it quite stable. US buyers -- I utilize USPS, shipping by your chosen service.
