As it has been a mere 3 years since I posted to this blog I thought it might be time to finally do another post! The picture here is the cover from the Japanese edition of The Rim Gods. Most of Chandler's novels were published in Japan. He wrote of one trip to Japan:

"I fell in love with Japan. I especially enjoyed travelling between the various cities by train - everything from the famous bullet trains to the little locals. It was good to meet so many Faithful Readers - although the autograph sessions in various bookshops were more than a little wearing. I was Guest of Honor at that year’s Science Fiction Convention in Yokohama. I had learned how to manipulate chopsticks before leaving Australia so I had no trouble with the food. (Unluckily, though, I had not learned how to sit cross-legged at the table, and every time I tried it the services of two strong girls were required to disentangle me.)" - A Bertram Chandler (
