I'll have to disagree on two of the three (I've never gotten into Tommyknockers either)!
:)
Weaveworld is among my favorite urban/dark-fantasy novels. I think it is an incredible work of the imagination. There are moments in it that I will never, ever forget. They've been burned into my mind.
I also like the new covers. I like that they are classier than the typical cliche-ridden horror cover. They add a bit of mystery to the work as well.
Although, this cover for In The Flesh is wicked cool:

I far prefer the original covers to Weaveworld (it's what made me buy the book in the first place), Cabal, and The Inhuman Condition. I think if i had never seen or owned the originals I would have been happy with the newer covers, but since I know what they were like before I have trouble accepting these.
I'm like that with almost everything. I'm still in denial over the newer DVD cover of The Thing.
My dad reminded me of the education plan we have through his work, where I can get certain things related to my education (books, DVDs - because I am in ScriptWriting and it relates to my field of study) which are partially paid for by this plan, as well as tax deductable.
So I made an order of 7 books from Amazon...

That reminds me... I've been meaning to read Christopher Moore.
Atonement
The Third Chimpanzee
What's Your Dangerous Idea?
Nice buys with the Bester, Sturgeon and Simak Meg.
You're going to love both. Way Station is just amazing, and you already know my thoughts on More Than Human. Although, I do have to say that I like To Marry Medusa more.

For the last 7 months, I've been ordering exclusively from the marketplace and I've never had a problem.
Order the one from Powells. They are totally legit. Largest book store in the world.
I'll be going there in a few weeks for a huge shopping spree!
