Whilst out in town and not buying books

I found a hardback of Falling Free by Lois McMaster Bujold (that's the one about the quaddies, the genetically-engineered humans with an extra pair of arms instead of legs). It was published in 2004 by the NESFA Press and seems to have been conceived as a tribute edition to her father (the book was already dedicated to him), with a foreward by her brother, and a reprint of an obituary. It's got a delightful artwork cover of a six-armed embrace. I don't know if it's rare or whether I got a bargain, but I'm really pleased with it. Oh, it's signed too.

Ooh, that's a gorgeous cover.

:-) And that scan doesn't really do it justice.
