Yep... That's the deal.

What was the name?

I'll return when they allow anyone to buy their ebooks. Right now it is restricted to members.

I do not remember. It was in the '80s and my memory is not what it used to be.

They carried new and used books.

The one that started out in the Rice village, and then moved to 290 just outside the loop? I can't remember the name either, but they're gone. I shopped there a lot. They were the only place in town that *ever* got the five-volume collected short stories of Philip K. Dick.

aha! On a whim, I just went upstairs and opened up my copy of the 10th Anniversary edition of Neuromancer. The receipt is still inside. Future Visions Books. The OCD pays off again.

Hmm... I wonder if they will include some Fantasy? It would be neat if the Norton Estate
would allow the re-publication of the "Witch World" series. (Of course, allowing the
finishing of the fourth book in the "Halfblood Chronicles" series, would be nice, as well.)

Luck;

I presume the Estate is holding it up, is it finished (as the wiki article implies)?

That list is really freaking old. Third Planet has been in its "new location by the freeway" for over fifteen years, and The Book Collector has either closed or re-focused and moved.

Hey, don't look at me, The Interwebz haz a long memory.

Love the Dawn Treader, it's my favorite stop when we are in Ann Arbor - although I'm buying just the occasional old favorite hardcover now.

Too bad I missed the kickstarter - I'm much more a fan of older sci-fi than newer.
