I still haven't read any of his books.
But two of them are on my to-read pile.

People have no idea how hard it is to find Womack's books.

Even in Vancouver's 'White Dwarf' SF store.

You mean the books have to be read in a specific order?

AAAAAAArgh!

i think pretty much they are out of print in the UK. borders in glasgow had one at one point, but it wasn't in great condition, and has since vanished.

i don't know if they have to be read in order. i know there were a few posts back in board history that discussed that kind of thing. i seem to have the impression that it helps though.

They are out of print everywhere.

According to the guy from the Gibson-endorsed SF shop, there hasn't been a Womack book in print since 2001.
(if I remember correctly)

There was a lady selling JW's books at the KGB Bar I have a flyer at the house with her web site on it. I'll post it this afternoon. I got Ambient there.

Actually I have 'Ambient' and 'Terraplane', which are the first two volumes.

I should be fine.
