I know what you mean about just couldn't get into a certain author. That C. J. Cherryh book you have reminds me of Downbelow Station, which won the Hugo for best novel in 1982. I bought the book, actually met her and had it autographed to me, then found it impossible to read beyond the first page.

I never could get interested in Poppy Z. Bright's stuff either.

I do really enjoy Nancy A. Collins's work and Kathryn Ptacek (who sadly seems to have stopped writing) and Phyllis Eisenstein (who I also met!).

Hadn't heard of Eisenstein, but looked up her bio. Sounds interesting.

Went on vacation and all I got was a strange Potter cover. My nephew worked at B&N and found this unboxing the book when it came out. Doubt it's valuable, but don't know how may have missed the purple run at the presses.

That one's interesting as an oddity, but I don't know of any sites in which you could get a fair market price quote. I collect (a little bit) the Harry Potter books, but I don't have any real interest in something like that.

Looks like they missed the black too (author at the bottom front).

Seems like they were switching die colors or something and it just zipped thru. Pretty neat actually. You could always try to ebay it with a reserve and see what happens!

Thanks - didn't notice there was a black as well as purple. I will hang on to it - actually I've never sold any books.
Right now I'm trying to go thro the too many books in the house and cull out the I'll never read agains to give to the library and making a list of the valuable ones so the future heirs won't end up donating them to the library; they can worry about selling them.
