Reviews
One of the most original practitioners writing any kind of fiction * Sunday Times *
A fitting tribute to a great philosophical writer who found science fiction the ideal form the expression of his ideas -- The Independent
One of the most original practitioners writing any kind of fiction. Philip K. Dick made most of the European avant-garde seem naval gazers in a cul-de-sac -- Sunday Times
Dick quietly produced serious fiction in a popular form and there can be no greater praise -- Michael Moorcock
No other writer of his generation had such a powerful intellectual presence. He stamped himself no only on our memories but in our imaginations -- Brian Aldiss

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
