Thank you all for sticking with me these last few hours. Thank you to those of you who have reached out, it means a lot to me.

GOING OUT OF BUSINESS. Huge auctions at link in bio.

Paperback Science Fiction was created on February 14, 2019 and has been a passion project of mine ever since. Running this venture has been such a great experience from the start and I knew I'd have no trouble ending it on such a good note. Each of you have played a part in my life and have provided me encouragement to keep at it. This page has been an expression of the creative side of me that I typically don't get to see. You've all helped preserve these wonderful books, establish value in them, and helped build our community stronger than it's ever been before. Be proud that you're sitting with so many intelligent folks who use critical thinking to help better the society we live in. You all know I'm not exaggerating when I say that this world would be even more lost without science fiction showing us the way. We as writers and readers are the moral compass of society.

My current inventory consists of around 700 books total. I've broken them up into lots of 100 each. The link to these auctions can be found in my bio.

If you want to show your support go ahead and place some bids on these book lots.

I hope you enjoyed Paperback Science Fiction as much as I did. It's something I have been working out for a quite some time but we've finally made it to this abrupt end. In closing I want to thank each and every person who has liked one of my posts, left a comment, and who has followed me on my journey. Thanks for all your orders and for trusting in me to deliver. Please take care of those around you, no matter how alien they may seem. All life should be cherished as we herald in a new tech-driven era of the human experience. Continue searching for answers because believe me, they're out there.

The Dreaming Earth
by John Brunner
Pyramid Books (1974)
A revision of Put Down This Earth (1962). A daring novel of humankind's strange and startling destiny. Here is a novel to equal Arthur Clarke's Childhood's End. It tells with frightening clarity of a desperately stricken earth-wracked by overpopulation and plagued by famine and despair. It tells, too, of a new breed of men and women--21st century lotus eaters caught up in a mysterious euphoria which will ultimately threaten all life on this planet; the drug-induced world of "happy dreams." Do these "happy dreamers" herald the end of the human species--or the next extraordinary step in the evolution of humanity? The cover artist is Jack Gaughan.

Polymath
by John Brunner
DAW Books (1976)
Colonizing a new planet requires much more than just settling on a newly discovered island of Old Earth. New planets were different in thousands of ways, different from Earth and from each other. Any of those differences could mean death and disaster to a human settlement. When a ship filled with refugees from a cosmic catastrophe crash-landed on such an unmapped world, their outlook was precarious. Their ship was lost, salvage had been minor, and everything came to depend on one bright young man accidentally among them. He was a trainee planet-builder. It would have been his job to foresee all the problems necessary to set up a safe home for humanity. But the problem was that he was a mere student, and he had been studying the wrong planet. The cover artist is Josh Kirby.

Times Without Number
by John Brunner
Ballantine Books (1983)
Don Miguel Navarro is a man with a most unusual job. As a Licentiate of the Society of Time, he is a time traveling agent for a Spanish Empire that continues to thrive four hundred years after the Armada successfully conquered England in 1588. Tasked with observing the past, he is always on the lookout for improper uses of time travel lest it bring about changes to the present. A casual encounter at a party results in just such a discovery, one that leads Don Miguel to a sinister conspiracy that threatens to alter history and undo the entire empire itself unless it is stopped. John Brunner's novel is a cut above most of its counterparts.

More Than Human
by Theodore Sturgeon
Ballantine Books (1953)
Every time I get this book in stock it sells almost immediately. This is a very early copy and what I believe may be the first paperback edition. The cover artist is Richard Powers, and what I believe is one of his best works. There's Lone, the simpleton who can hear other people's thoughts and make a man blow his brains out just by looking at him. There's Janie, who moves things without touching them, and there are the teleporting twins, who can travel ten feet or ten miles. There's Baby, who invented an antigravity engine while still in the cradle, and Gerry, who has everything it takes to run the world except for a conscience. Separately, they are talented freaks. Together, they compose a single organism that may represent the next step in evolution, and the final chapter in the history of the human race.

War With The Newts
by Karel Capek
Bantam Giant Books (1955)
This might be one of the oldest books I've offered, and it's in great shape. Here's the gist of the story: man discovers a species of giant, intelligent newts and learns to exploit them so successfully that the newts gain skills and arms enough to challenge man's place at the top of the animal kingdom. Along the way, Karel Capek satirizes science, runaway capitalism, fascism, journalism, militarism, even Hollywood. The cover artist is Name.

The Discovery Series was put out in the late 1970s by Harlan Ellison to present and publish new authors with new writings. If you haven't read anything by Bruce Sterling then this would be the place to start; you've got to check him out! The photograph and lettering were designed by Visions Graphics partners John David Moore and Michael D. Gibson. The photograph was taken by Charles Bush. This is the first printing of Bruce Sterling's first novel.
