A good second hand haul yesterday:
David Mitchell: Ghostwritten - the debut novel by this Booker-nominated author.
David Lindsay: A voyage to Arcturus. One of the books on the Fantasy Masterworks list I haven't read, in a cheaper 70s p'back.
Jack Vance - Maske: Thaery Vance!!! Need I say more.
Philip K Dick: Ubik. An early 1970 paperback edition with nicely hallucinogenic cover art:

That's a pretty good haul. The Ubik looks like the first paperback edition, which I also have. I had a chance to pick up the screenplay but I let it slip by, which I now regret. A Voyage to Arcturus is quite good also. One of the few fantasy novels I've read more than once. The Green Millenium by Fritz Lieber is another one I have. Good eye.
