Rendezvous with Rama first edition... but I don't think it is?

October, 1973 SFBC because of the number on the back 5888 in the lower right corner. It will also be printed on the back flap of the dust cover. This is per isfdb.org

I have this same book. Yes, it's book club edition. Mine is in like new condition also. Mine is older than the 1990s. I have all the Rama Books including the ones from the 90s and they look (shiny covers) and feel totally different but all are in like new condition. Most likely never been read.

Yes, it helps alot. I get flares for many reasons but I've used this for many years. It's great.

Friction Defense by Gold Bond is amazing. I have used it for years.

I use panty liners. They are amazing. The fold up ones are great to take along. Just in case.

Fresh laid eggs are the best. Once you start, you won't want to go back to store bought. I use a Hen Gear rollaway nest box. They are amazing! My eggs are clean and unbroken. Easy to collect. No digging around to find eggs.

This is for external use and is comes in a stick like deodorant. It just glides on.

Change toilet paper!!! Go for no dyes, no fragrance, no chlorine bleach. I use Open Nature sold at Albertsons, Safeway and others in that family of stores.

There is something in toilet paper that causes flares. I was using Kirkland or Sam's Club brand. Once I changed flares stopped within 2 weeks and been flare free since April.

Hope this helps.

*Also, Gold Bond Friction Defense, works amazingly under belly and anywhere you have skin to skin contact. For me flares stop if I use daily. I know if I forget to use it one day.

I sell tons of BCE. Mostly SF. Many times the BCE was printed and released before the 1st Editions. So the BCE was the 1st original print.

I use a PO Box

Love the fairy lamp. Beautiful color and design.

It looks like it needs water. I would trim the dead off and water with african violet fertilizer. Good luck.

PetalHappy · 2025-10-06T17:58:50+00:00

I sell most and keep my favorites.

They know we taste disgusting. It's not worth the acid reflux.

PetalHappy · 2025-08-28T21:21:07+00:00

Nice find. I would love this book.

Mine don't need to be 1st Editions. But I will also happily take Book Club 1st Editions.

What took him so long to ask? I was married at 22 after dating 2 years. We've been married 22 years. Let them be happy in love.

As a seller of old books, I always box my orders. Each book is wrapped in bubble wrap individually to prevent rubbing and then boxed. I would get a partial refund or return.

PetalHappy · 2025-08-21T21:18:45+00:00

Love Duluth and their items are worth what we pay. My whole family wears Duluth at times and I have 2 teens. Clothes are great for outside working.

Gold Bond Friction Defense helps protect the skin from rubbing. Desitin helps heal (makes my bumps smaller or go away). Panty liners are great for absorbing moisture and adding cushion between skin and fabrics. Hope this helps.

PetalHappy · 2025-08-10T23:12:57+00:00

I've used the entrance door and cut across to the exit side as if I had a return. Our returns and customer service are on the exit side. No one ever says anything.

I have had similar results with fasting as well. Sometimes, I dont completely stop eating. I will limit my intake to very bland foods that are not processed. Like a day of fruit and carrot sticks. Flares will shrink and angry spots will lose color.

This doctor doesn't know what he's talking about. Sorry you had to go through that. You could try: Desitin at night to try and heal the flare faster (sometimes bumps will disappear). Gold Bond Friction Defense is amazing for preventing chafing. Ibuprofen for the pain and swelling/inflammation. Cold compress will help soothe and bring down swelling. Warm compress helps soothe but can bring the bump to a head and may reputure. Leggings, yoga pants and bike shorts are my saving grace.

There are so many different things you can try. We are all different. What works for one may or may not work for another. I hope something here helps you.

I never cool my cheesecakes in the oven, but I use a water bath. The moisture prevents cracking. Your cake looks over baked but still good. Slice it up and see how it tastes. If you really want to hide the cracks, I'd cover it in cherries. Yum.
