starlady: a circular well of books (well of books)

It's really good and a quick read! It might be easier to get the ebook, though, which also has the advantage of a thematically coherent cover. The 1988 paperback appears to show a Southern soldier with an artillery piece…and an airship? From the future? But it doesn't look like an airship and it's maybe supposed to be invisible? I'm honestly not sure.

It does make me laugh, though, that the 1988 back cover copy is going on about Nova Africa but still has to specify that the main character is a woman scientist, because that was still so difficult to fathom.

ETA: If you want I can mail you my copy! I am trying to lighten the physical book load and I was going to put it out in the neighborhood LFL.
