Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS);faqs.179 METAPHASE J.D. Sauvage encounters Nemo, a squidmoth, whose only trait in common with human beings is that they too are outcasts.

In waking life, the Jaguar is a WWII vet with a mysterious sleep disorder, confined to a VA bed. When he sleeps, he roams this world and another, invading the minds of people as they dream, forcing them to do his will. Four dream-bonded children combine forces to cross the void between worlds and fight for their lives--and ours. THE ASCENSION FACTOR (Frank Herbert and Bill Ransom, Ace/Putnam hardcover, '88) Final installment in the Pandora trilogy (THE JESUS INCIDENT, THE LAZARUS EFFECT, THE ASCENSION FACTOR). Pandora is under the fist of an ambitious clone who rules with a sadistic security force led by the assassin, Spider Nevi. The Director controls the people by controlling their food supply and their official religion. Small resistance groups, led by a news team and an underground religous group, fight to overthrow The Director and his forces, and reestablish the sentient kelp that used to calm the planet-wide ravaging seas. THE JESUS INCIDENT (Frank Herbert and Bill Ransom, Putnam/Berkley hardcover, '78) This bestseller kicked off the Herbert/Ransom Pandora trilogy, and there are only a few copies of the original hardcover left. A Ship who claims to be God abandons colonists to the planet's bloodthirsty demons and to their own sinister leaders. A poet, a clone from hybernation and a drunken physican team up to save their own people and the planet's only sentient species, which their leader, a Chaplain/Psychiatrist, wants to wipe out completely. POETRY BY BILL RANSOM FINDING TRUE NORTH (Copper Canyon Press, '73 & 76, trade paper) Nominated for both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize in 1974, this first book of Ransom's is extremely difficult to find.

SAWYER GOLDEN FLEECE (Warner, December 1990) GOLDEN FLEECE is a high-tech game of cat-and-mouse between a murdering artificial intelligence named JASON and an engineer, Aaron Rossman, aboard a Bussard-ramjet starship. Winner of the CompuServe Science Fiction and Fantasy Forum's HOMer Award for Best First Novel of 1990; included on the LOCUS recommended reading list; named best SF novel of 1990 by Orson Scott Card. Writing in F&SF, Orson Scott Card says: "Jason is, in my opinion, the deepest computer character in all of science fiction. And Aaron is, in my opinion, one of the most well-drawn, fallible, *human* detectives I've encountered in mystery fiction -- in a league with, say, Rendell's Inspector Wexford. How good is GOLDEN FLEECE? A friend of mine -- an English professor -- used to ask, whenever he saw me, `Why are you still writing that spaceship stuff?' Now I can answer. Because *this* is possible." FAR-SEER (Ace, June 1992) FAR-SEER is the first book in the Quintaglio series. Just before the great extinctions of 65 million years ago, dinosaurs and other Earth life forms were transplanted to a distant world. At the time FAR-SEER takes place, a race of intelligent dinosaurs has emerged. Young Afsan, an apprentice astrologer, gets a chance to use the newly developed far-seer. It enables him to begin to unravel the truth about the heavenly bodies, including the enigmatic Face of God, which covers one-quarter of the sky. His research leads to a discovery that threatens the dinosaurs with extinction once again -- but this time, if he can convince his people fast enough, they may be able to do something about it. ASIMOV'S calls FAR-SEER a "tour de force; vastly enjoyable, beautifully realized." PUBLISHERS WEEKLY declares "Sawyer does a fine job." ANALOG says "Afsan's world and nature feel quite real. The reader gets involved and cheers him on, and many another writer must say to Sawyer just what one saurian says to a superior: 'I cast a shadow in your presence.'"

High fantasy. Praise from F&SF: "Dave Smeds writes fantasy with the inventiveness and rigor of the best sort of hard science fiction. His story of a world being conquered by a Hitlerian dragon is so real that when you set it on the same shelf with woodsy-elvesy fantasies, within a week they crumble into dust." Original edition.

[Note 1: I collected these comments from a variety of people. I personally have no knowledge of many of these places and take no responsibility if you buy a book you don't enjoy. :-) Phone numbers and precise addresses can be gotten by calling directory assistance for the appropriate city. Call ahead for precise hours, as even when I list them they are subject to change.] [Note 2: I am cross-posting this to rec.arts.sf.written, but the bookstores listed include *all* types of bookstores, so please don't tell me that a particular store has a limited SF section unless I have specifically claimed otherwise.] SAN FRANCISCO: (Now arranged geographically--thanks to Joseph Brenner. Roughly East to West, or starting "Downtown" and moving outwards.) Chinatown: Louie Bros Book Store (754 Washington near Grant). Chinese Language. Noted a Lotus 1-2-3 manual in the window. Downtown: City Lights (Broadway and 261 Columbus). The best place for general literature. Famous beat era shop. Go downstairs. Alexander Book Co. (south of Market on Second Street downtown). Pleasant to hang out in, and carries a more interesting selection of everything than many larger places. It's hidden away behind Stacey's, which is valuable but really just a giant Waldenbooks in spirit. Rand McNally (Market near 2nd). Huge selection of maps and travel books. Stacey's (581 Market near 2nd). It is remarkable for technical books. Another branch at 383 Sacramento between Front & Battery. Tillman Place Bookshop (8 Tillman Place off Grant between Post & Sutter). Also called Charlotte Newbegin's Bookshop. Specializes in Russian books, which makes it almost unique in the western US (but see also Palo Alto). "This is one of my favorite places to browse at lunchtime. They carry new and used books, and sometimes adorn their used treasures with hand-made dust-covers -- gorgeous hand-painted papers and hand-printed labels. They also have a large, elegant cat, who usually sleeps amid the window display!" Argonaut Books (786 Sutter at the corner of Taylor) (used) The Bookstall (570 Sutter btwn Powell and Mason) (used). It has a general selection of books. Albatross (166 Eddy btwn Mason and Taylor) (used). Much more upscale than McDonalds, excellent selection. In a very seedy area, but you are probably safe during the day. McDonalds (48 Turk) (used). You gotta see this place: rickety shelves stacked to the rafters with old books and magazines. The next quake is going to wipe this place out. In a very seedy area, but you are probably safe during the day. Civic Center: Fantasy Etc. (808 Larkin) "Science Fiction and Detective Fiction" A Clean Well-Lighted Place For Books at Opera Plaza (610 Van Ness Ave between Golden Gate and Turk). Acorn Books (740 Polk between Eddy and Ellis next-door to Sierra Club HQ) (used). Everything over $15 is on the computer. They also have printouts by topic. San Francisco Museum of Modern Art bookstore (Van Ness and McAllister, near the Opera House). A great selection of art and art-related books; also some interesting children's books. Richard Hilkert, Bookseller (333 Hayes, near the Performing Arts Center). Has a large number of books on architecture, as well as a large collection of books, new and used, on design, the arts, collecting, gardening, cooking, travel.... Carries new and used books, and has book signings from time to time. Drama Books (134 Ninth St, San Francisco CA 94103, (two or three blocks off Market), (415) 255-0604). Marina: Writer's Bookstore (2848 Webster, between Green & Union). A tiny store with new and used books. Classical music on the radio, sports on TV! *All* new books discounted up to 50% off cover-price! Maritime Book Store (Hyde Street Pier near Fisherman's Wharf). A very good selection of new maritime books. While there, must visit the Balclutha, one of the few remaining square-rigged Cape Horn sailing ships. Mission: Aardvark (237 Church). Used to have separate new and used stores; now the Church Street location carries both new and used books. Maelstrom Books (572 Valencia near 17th St). Medium-sized place. "Looks good." Valencia Books (around 528 Valencia, near 16th St). Many hardcovers on tall shelves, old wooden floors with some scattered chairs. A great used bookstore. The hours are just listed as "opening" to "closing," but closing seems *late* and opening is around noon. The Book Center (518 Valencia near 16th St). Political literature. Old Wives' Tales (1009 Valencia). Feminist. Modern Times Bookstore (Valencia near 20th Street; Next door to Cafe Beano at 878 Valencia). A good selection of books along the lines of contemporary urban/liberal thought. "I gather from the name they think of themselves as an alternative to the more backward-looking "City Lights" bookstore." Carroll's Books (Church and 24th--Noe Valley) (used). Jim Carroll was a buyer at Green Apple (see below) and has excellent taste in used books. If you're in the area, check out the Mission: Valencia Books, Maelstrom, etc. Laissez-Faire Books (Howard Street). Some general philosophy, but strong classical liberal flavor. Freedom's Forum (1800 Market Street). (Capitalist) "Most bookstores carry plenty of socialist books; how many carry the works of the Austrian economists such as Ludwig Von Mises and F.A. Hayek? ... Anyone wanting a balanced view of both socialism and capitalism should patronize this store frequently." (according to one poster) Limelight Film & Theatre Bookstore (1803 Market, San Francisco CA 94103, (415) 864-2265). The Limelight has more scripts, but Drama Books also stocks used books, and more about the history/techniques of theater. Ninth Avenue Books (1348 9th Ave near Kirkham). Beard's Books (637 Kirkham near 8th Ave). Mostly used books. A little bit of everything, but not a lot of anything. High prices. A hard place to be enthusiastic about, but it is open late (after midnight), and it's got a cafe next door. Comics & Comix (Kirkham at 8th Ave). Another entry in the chain (smaller than Palo Alto's). Books New & Used (345 Judah at 9th Ave). "Discount Medical, Technical & Professional." Hours around 9AM-6PM, closed Sunday. A to Z News (1392 9th Ave at Judah). Good magazine rack, includes many "academic" journals. Some used pornographic paperbacks, displayed with the appropriate magazines. Includes an Espresso bar. Castro: A Different Light (489 Castro Street between 17th & 18th). This is a branch of the company that also has bookstores in West Hollywood and New York City. They have a very large selection of titles of interest to lesbians, bisexuals and gay men, and occasionally carry a few used books. They also have a large L/G/B newspaper and magazine section, and sell videos, cards, T-shirts, buttons and other good stuff, and also regularly schedule authors' receptions and readings. Crown Books (Castro near 18th Street) A typical Crown bookstore, though with a fairly large "Gay Interest" section in the back. Castro Kiosk (Castro nearby Books Etc) Another Gay and Lesbian magazine store. Books Etc. (538 Castro near 18th Street) (used). A good selection of (mostly) used books, notable for having a fairly large "Gay Interest" section. Lower Haight: (no name?) (473 Haight St near Filmore) Mostly magazines, and that mostly gay and lesbian pornography. Some independant comics and quite a lot of small press/fanzine publications. Diluvian (518 Haight near Filmore) (used). Largely a used bookstore, with a wide assortment oriented toward hardcovers. Atmosphere is relaxed, spacious with a number of easy chairs scattered around. They play classical music in the background. Naked Eye (533 Haight St near Filmore) Newstand and video rental place. A weird magazine selection, with some nice touches like "The Skeptical Inquirer" on display next to the UFO magazines. Comix Experience (305 Divisidero) A basic comic book store, with a bit more open space than usual, for live appearences by authors and artists. Upper Haight: Saint Adrian Company (1334 Haight, near Central) (used). Small, but classy used bookstore. Atmosphere: has a small leather couch on a Chinese carpet, with jazz music in the background. Bound Together, the Anarchist Collective Bookstore (1369 Haight near Masonic). An odd collection of new and used books, plus small press stuff. It has some strange left-wing anarchist literature, but it also carries quite a bit of other material, which might loosely be classified as "weird": lesbian poets, Tesla Coils, early issues of "REsearch," and so on. Forever After Books (1475 Haight near Ashbury) (used). Small, but with every available space packed with used books. The staff is very agressively helpful, probably because they know how hard it could be to find something here. They carry all of the usual stuff, though in particular I thought they had impressive collections of old DIY/Engineering books and children's books. Great Expectations (1520 Haight near Ashbury) Very small place, but a surprizingly good collection of general literature. Lots of T-shirts and things, largely on 60s nostalgia themes, but there are also hints of the newer, punkier Haight. Comic Relief (1597 Haight near Clayton) Mostly comics. Carries some other random things like THE ANARCHIST COOKBOOK. The Booksmith (1644 Haight near Belvedere) Has a table up front with a collection of excellent, quirky, discount hardcovers and trade paperbacks. Richmond: Green Apple Books (506 Clement) (also used). "Remotely situated in the Richmond district under perpetual fog and surrounded by a maelstrom of Russian tearooms, Vietnamese restaurants and greengrocers, the Holy City Zoo, Tevye's, and the greatest Armenian delicatessen-- Haig's--I've ever smelled." Go upstairs for used books. There are a few other used bookstores within a block or two of there. Albatross III (143 Clement near Second Avenue) (used). This is the neighborhood of Green Apple and many restaurants. Canterbury Books (on the south side of Geary near 17th Avenue). Very knowledgeable staff. Just one block from a 38 Geary bus stop. "Highly recommended." Sunset: In and Out of Print books (401-A Judah and 9th Ave) (used). Another great used book store. Its awning says OPEN TILL MIDNITE. "I don't know the name of the place but they have a fairly typical assortment of the sort of stuff which people like used bookstores for, including some older paperback first editions as suitably outrageous prices." (Also 443 Clement) Elsewhere (Judah and 8th Avenue). Science fiction and mysteries. One person said it seems to be open only about 10 hours a week; another said it is open until 8 (?) on Wednesdays.
