Hmm - the premise is great, but the story devolves in The Bold and Beautiful type of setting - family members getting it on / trying to kill / rescuing each other, big revelations at the end of each book and scenes that must have accompanied by a bunch of psychedelics. Still, it's a cult series, incorporating both science fiction and fantasy in Zelazny's fashion; the writing is simple and the story progresses fast. Bear in mind as well, that the earliest book was written in '70s (but it has aged remarkably well) - all together: YMMV. As for content:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Visconti-Wallet-Shield-Hunter-Leather/dp/B00ZRR3WGU/ It's first purchase for a long long time that I'm very happy with, retiring my old, "legal to drive" wallet. canis minor has a new favorite as of 15:54 on Dec 24, 2016 |

Well the pen is going into a working collection, and will be used daily, even if it is 70 years old. It's too nice a writer not too.

I got this for christmas, not a purchase exactly. When I saw it I was underwhelmed because I use a safety razor. But I used it today and oh my loving god it was amazing. You could shave your face drunk, in pitch darkness, and get away with a clean face and no cuts. https://www.amazon.com/Philips-Norelco-OneBlade-QP2520-70/dp/B01D328DH8 This poo poo kicks all kinds of rear end for the lazy shaver
