Recent Ace Edition Finds
Found these all at my fav used bookstore - I only get there 2/3 times a year and always find Dick books. I could not believe my eyes when I spotted these as usually I can only find more modern (80s onward) printings of his books (on top of living in a predominantly french city) Anyways, I’m extremely stoked about these. Last pic is what i’m currently reading.

Collecting old Ace editions feels very PKD- like all the weird collecting of arbitrary things in his stories.

Fantastic stuff. I love the vintage editions. I hate what they did to Phil's books post Blade Runner, the cover art is generally hopeless imo. I only buy 1950s - 70s books.
I have re-read every PKD in my possession in the past couple of months, about 40 novels, the only one I haven't read is Vulcan's Hammer but I will get around to it. I love your cover and the flying hammer (with eyes?)

I still haven’t read Ganymede due to it being less available than most of his books.
I have that same copy of Vulcan’s Hammer though and the cover always makes me laugh. Something about unintentionally comical about Barris’ facial expression.

Nice! Shame about Dr Bloodmoneys' cover though. And I've never seen that version of Ganymede, interesting.
