I know this is a tangent, but I just want to share this oddity. I am 38 years old, and I have been trying to buy Neuromancer since 1999. I have been in Santiago, Rome, London, Miami, Madrid, Bogota, live, in situ looking for the book on mainstream bookshops and I have never found a copy to buy. I know Neuromancer by heart but I have never been able to buy a copy of it. 38 Years.

- firefax 1y agoYou could check it out from a library and just not bring it back. They'll charge you the MSRP.
- sandspar 1y agoCheck large chains like Indigo Books in Vancouver - Gibson lives there.
- cm2012 1y agoFor what its worth, I just checked my local Barnes and Nobles in the suburbs of New York and they had it.
- globular-toast 1y agoThis is a funny comment because just last week I bought a second-hand copy in Berwick-upon-Tweed. I haven't read it yet but it's been on my list forever and it's a mint copy with a nice yellow cover. It was published in the UK as part of the "SF Masterworks" series which is a trove of previously out of print stuff. If you come to London again you should find it in most large bookshops like Waterstones.
- Gooblebrai 1y agoIt's everywhere in any major bookshop in London like Waterstones and Foyles And once the TV series is out, you'll see it even more
- harvey9 1y agoDid you try asking shop staff? You might have happened to be in when the shelf was dry but the stockroom had a copy. This isn't really an oddity.
