ffutures: Flatland map (Flatland)
I tried to buy a copy of Charles Hinton's "An Episode of Flatland" on Ebay last night. First edition but second printing and not particularly nice condition from the sound of it - there were no bids yesterday morning, when I thought I'd better put in a bid in case I had a breakdown on the way home or something, by the evening there were five more. Tried another bid at the last minute but it went for £16.75, which is a little annoying. There are a few other copies around the £100 mark on abebooks, but nothing I can afford, and the on-line version from Project Gutenberg is based on an edited text, not the complete book.

All a little annoying, but not the end of the world. But if someone does happen to see another copy on sale anywhere cheap...
