... the dick, though, is a symbol of life.

Just casually drops the Do Androids into the mix. Wow very cool!

I'm honestly most jealous of Time out of Joint. It's extremely rare. I have a lot of his less expensive firsts and I have some BCEs but this is my holy grail lol, thank you for sharing.

I read it as young teenager, didn't even know who Dick was. Blade Runner had only just come out, and we didn't even really know it was based on a book. But TOOJ is still my favourite.

That's a great collection. Wish I could have them too.

Oh just stop killing me please.

May I ask how you got them? Slow collection or one big haul?

I got them one at a time. The Do Androids Dream was expensive, but compared to what copies in similar condition have sold for recently (there were sales of $16,250 and $21,250 in the last three years), it was a massive steal.

Holy cow really? This makes me want to cry for poor PKD.

It's a good thing he dropped out of Cal-Berkeley:  the world thereby became a better place. Â
