Book haul!
Prompt, I know, but I've just been cataloguing my book haul from Worldcon.[*]
Not legible in that pile: the rather beautiful Instructions by Bob Leman, the exhibitions catalogue, the art show book, a Finnish Weird compilation from the Helsinki bid, and a booklet from the Petrie about Time. I believe my copy of Sibilant Fricative was the first book bought in the dealers room (Ian W sold it to me before we were officially open - in fact before he'd finished setting up his stall). The Just City was a present from Jo, Fever Medicine was a present from one of the exhibitors, and many of the rest were paid or part-paid for with hard-earned groats. Particularly pleased with the John Harris book, which I discovered existed at the end of a long day after several hours of pining after his beautiful paintings (and was considerably cheaper than the real thing!).
[*] The Shepards and My Real Children actually arrived just after Worldcon, but only because I couldn't buy them there, they're morally Worldcon purchases.
