Book gift it on

[Biker]

But I'm lost, who's turn is it?

I think it's back to me, and somehow as well as Berk. Quite how the system is working now escapes me but anyway...

Berk is offering one from this selection:

Ian Rankin - The Black Book AND Mortal Causes (paperback double bill)
A.R.R.R. Roberts - The Sellamillion (paperback, a spoof of The Simarillion)
Tony Ballantyne - Recursion (hardback)
Katherine Kerr & Mark Kreighbaum - Palace (paperback)

And from me from this selection:

Inquisitor by Ian Watson. From the Warhammer 40,000 Games workshop books. Powered armour, battles in space etc (ISBN 1-85283-835-3)
The Postman by David Brin. The book the Kevin Costner film was based upon. Post-Apocolyptic survivor story (ISBN 1-85723-629-7)
Around the world in 80 days by Jules Verne. The classic, and if you need more info you ought to be ashamed.

 

[RonW]

The system was the same as the G.I.O-thread, but got messed up somehow.

I suggest we go back to 1 offer at a time, being Biker's now.
Agreed??

Your welcome to it.

Now, Who wants the golden compass and co? They are very good, for adults and kids. I would keep them but I already have them.

Arrived today, my dog thought it was for him, and was mightily disappointed that it wasn't. I did let him play with the box though when I'd got the book out.

My offers are:

Ian Rankin - The Black Book AND Mortal Causes (paperback double bill)
A.R.R.R. Roberts - The Sellamillion (paperback, a spoof of The Simarillion)
Tony Ballantyne - Recursion (hardback)
Katherine Kerr & Mark Kreighbaum - Palace (paperback)

(How long 'til I root some more and offer a different selection?)

 

[Biker]

Just had an email from my Mother to say the Golden Compass books have arrived. Many thanks Tengu. I'll pick 'em up when I'm in the UK next month.

Currently on offer from Berk (though that could change soon perhaps?):

Ian Rankin - The Black Book AND Mortal Causes (paperback double bill)

Sadly, not all the links are useful.. Versions may differ too, but they should give you an idea about most of the books.

 

[Tengu]

Ill have the A C Clarke

In return I offer Moby Dick

 

[Berk]

Will get it out to you tomorrow Tengu. I finished The Road last night, a very interesting read, but the style it was written in made it quite hard going when tired.
Biker, yours arrived yesterday, thank you very much.

Currently on offer from Tengu is Moby Dick

 

[Tengu]

Unabridged, I hasten to add

 

[Tengu]
