Courtesy of the generous folk at PM Press, we have three copies of Michael Moorcock's new book, London Peculiar and Other Nonfiction to give away.
To be in with a chance of winning the second copy we want you to do submit a list of as many unique words (of two or more letters) you can find in the words 'London Peculiar'. The entry received by the closing date with the highest score wins a copy of London Peculiar.
Valid words are those found in a single standard dictionary (e.g. British English; US English; French; German; Spanish etc) as long as the Roman alphabet is used. Only one dictionary can be used, so no British/US English intermixing or English plus French or the like.
More info can be found in the Q&A thread London Peculiar Contest #2: LIP ORACLE DUNNO
Good luck everyone.

Courtesy of the generous folk at PM Press, we have three copies of Michael Moorcock's new book, London Peculiar and Other Nonfiction to give away.
To be in with a chance of winning the first copy, we've devised a small 'scavenger hunt' style contest for you all. To enter, all you have to do is take a photograph of any of Mike's books 'in the wild', that is, on a shelf in a public space. For the purposes of this contest, 'public space' includes retail bookshops, second-hand bookshops, public libraries, etc. It does not include private homes and/or offices. All photographs must be taken within the duration of the contest.
More info can be found in the Q&A thread London Peculiar Contest #1: HUNT THE MOORCOCK.
Good luck and happy hunting!

It is with great pleasure - and much gratitude to Mike and PM Press - that we're able to give everyone a special preview of Mike's forth-coming collection London Peculiar and Other Nonfiction by sharing Iain Sinclair's Introduction, 'The Man on the Stairs' with you all here first.
The Man on the Stairs: An Introduction to Michael Moorcock by Iain Sinclair
In London Peculiar and Other Nonfiction, Michael Moorcock personally selects the best of his published, unpublished, and uncensored essays, articles, reviews, and opinions covering a wide range of subjects: books, films, politics, reminiscences of old friends, and attacks on new foes. Drawn from over fifty years of writing, including his most recent work from the pages of the Los Angeles Times, and the Guardian, along with obscure and now unobtainable sources, the pieces in London Peculiar and Other Nonfiction include:
* The first appearance in English of a review of R. Crumb’s Genesis (previously only available in French)
* A previously unpublished review of Angus Wilson’s No Laughing Matter
* An introduction to the online 'Paraxis' (not yet in print elsewhere)
* The first appearance in English of the Introduction to Titus Alone (previously only available in German)
* A 2008 review (now unavailable) of Alan Wall’s Sylvie’s Riddle
* An introduction to Barrington Bayley from a now defunct site
* A previously unpublished review of Iain Sinclair’s The Falconer and Slow Chocolate Autopsy
* A forthcoming Introduction to Rudolf Nassauer’s The Hooligan
London Peculiar and Other Nonfiction will be published in the USA by PM Press and in the UK by Merlin Press in March 2012.
An ebook edition is currently available from the PM Press web site. (Other formats for the Kindle, etc. will be forthcoming.)

I'm at the point of signing a big contract with Victor Gollancz (Orion) which ultimately will make pretty much all my books available as e-books in the UK. The process might be slower in the US but Titan will publish Bastable as e-books.
** UPDATE ** 1st February 2012:
I just signed the first of many contracts with Orion. This one will release minor works ONLY as e-books but the rest of my books (pretty much all of them apart from Mother London, King of the City, London Peculiar and the Pyat books) should be published in the UK from this year on and be available as e-books or paper.
