Half British armchair scientist with an islander attitude.

INTJ according to the Myers-Briggs personality assessment.
I recently bought a 1973 first edition uncorrected proof of my favorite novel, Rendezvous with Rama.



It is the only paperback I own with a dust cover.



An uncorrected proof is essentially a book pre-release, before the final edit, they make a few and give them out to people in the literary trade.



I almost passed it up but I'm glad I didn't. When I got it home I compared it to my other editions and found that my uncorrected version had an additional 50 pages!
