==Greg Egan==
I'm doing a "let's collect every American first edition" thing for Greg Egan, based off the (presumably authoritative) bibliography on [https://www.gregegan.net/BIBLIOGRAPHY/Bibliography.html his site]. This allows me to not worry about <i>An Unusual Angle</i>, which has no American edition (his first book, it was published only in Australia, and is fairly difficult to find), nor his second book <i>Quarantine</i> (no American hardback). His early works were generally released in the UK before the USA. To count (indicated by <b>boldface</b>), it must be a first edition first printing hardback in very good condition or better. A lot of his early covers are just ghastly, but enjoyable in a kitschy way. The earlier books are generally better than the more recent ones IMHO.
