From the swaps table at the Unconvention.

Anderson is one of the few writers from the classical period of science fiction who still seems at home in the genre today, This book is from the 1970s, but I don't think it will have dated much...

This copy has a BookCrossing bookplate I've not seen before - a mermaid reading about how to catch a sailor. I might get some to supplement the dragons I usually use.

I tried to read this once or twice, but didn't get very far.

I got the impression that the story was going to be quite good, but I was just too put off by the absurd system of faster-than-light travel.

For release, probably while out walking today.
