I would only worry about such maybe if I owned and not rented. The minimalist in me hardcore resents all my accumulated shiza as it is. I don't mind re-purchasing well-read, loved, dog-eared & old paperbacks which I then lend out & inevitably don't get back, or simply lose.
Count Zero definitely has a singular beauty, a literal search for poetry which Neuromancer might lack.
"Are you - are you sad?" - No. "But your - your songs are sad." - My songs are of time and distance. The sadness is in you. William Gibson, "Count Zero"
I read in a Gibson fandom BBS quite a while back shut-up /dork. Where someone suggested that plot-wise Pattern Recognition was Count Zero, repeated. A case can be made. If you haven't read PR, I highly suggest it! I <3 it dearly.
