"Nothing links person to person like the frequent passage from hand to hand of a good book."

This is an old but great collection of stories by James Tiptree, Jr. (real name, Alice Bradley). In my experience, her short stories were much better than her novels.

A wandering book -- the karma of literature!

Off by Science Fiction Only bookbox!!

Bookcrossing is the practice of leaving a book in a public place for someone else to "catch". Why? Cuz books just wanna have fun! Enjoy the serendipity and head over to the bookcrossing.com website to let me know you caught this book!

Bookcrossing is family-friendly and a great hobby 😀

Taken from the box.

Tiptree’s stories are pretty much guaranteed to be ones I like! I admire her ability to blend complex world-building with characters who draw your empathy. I had read a couple of these stories before in other places, but most of them were new to me.

Sent to the winner of the sci-fi sweepstakes. It's a big box of books, so hopefully they will find something they like and pass the rest on.

Your amazing box made it here safely. Thank you very much for all of the amazing looking science fiction.

I always forget how much I enjoy James Tiptree Jr.'s writing. This collection contained quite a few stories of the author's that I had not read before. There is something about the way she writes her short stories that draws the reader in so quickly. This collection had quite a big focus on alien encounters, there were very complex social situations, and her female protagonists delt with the sexisism that was prevalent at the time Tiptree was writing. Thank you for sending this my way emmejo. I enjoyed revisiting an author I first discover as a teenager almost thirty years ago.

Sent on it's way to the winner of the last Science Fiction sweeps. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

Thank you nimrodiel.

I'm a very special book. I'm traveling the world in search of new friends. I hope I have found one in you. If you are my new owner please make a brief journal entry with my BCID number. You can read and release me for a new friend to read or keep me. It's your choice!
