The item you've got your eye on is secondhand. You probably already know that, but just in case!
The estimated retail price shown next to any listed item represents the first-hand prices we've seen elsewhere, or the estimated original retail price of a comparable item of the same quality, construction and material offered elsewhere in new condition.
Labyrinthine tale of illusion, identity, and intrigue.
"The Islanders" by Christopher Priest is a splendid choice if you're intrigued by narratives that refuse to stay in a straight line. As you delve into the twisting geography and slippery truths of the Dream Archipelago, you'll find the ground constantly shifting beneath you. The novel's mastery lies in its ability to blend the boundary between literary fiction and speculative storytelling, making it a perfect pick for someone who loves a mental challenge wrapped in elegant prose.
