For the first time in paperback, the culminating novel of Hugo and Nebula Award-winner Jo Walton's stunning Small Change trilogy.
Following the award-winning Farthing and its sequel Ha'penny, Half a Crown is an amazing alternate-world noir tale of resistance to encroaching fascism, from the author of Among Others.

In 1941 the European war ended in the Farthing Peace, a rapprochement between Britain and Nazi Germany. The balls and banquets of Britain's upper class never faltered, while British ships ferried undesirables across the Channel to board the cattle cars headed east.

Peter Carmichael is commander of the Watch, Britain's distinctly British secret police. It's his job to warn the Prime Minister of treason, to arrest plotters, to discover Jews. The midnight knock of a Watchman is the most dreaded sound in the realm.

Now, in 1960, a global peace conference is convening in London, where Britain, Germany, and Japan will oversee the final partition of the world. Hitler is once again on British soil. So is the long-exiled Duke of Windsor--and the rising gangs of British Power streetfighters, who consider the Government soft, may be the former king's bid to stage a coup d'etat.

Amidst all this, two of the most unlikely persons in the realm will join forces to oppose the fascists: a debutante whose greatest worry until now has been where to find the right string of pearls, and the Watch Commander himself.
A literary Guernica--a top-notch thriller set in a terrified Britain that is all too willing to trade freedom for security, and which gets neither. --Cory Doctorow on Ha'penny

Feels great after cheap work soap hand washes
Size: 11 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This stuff is great. I reapply ALL the time because I have it at work.I wash my hands frequently and the soap at the work is very harsh, cheap, and generally just terrible on the skin.I use this after every wash and it leaves my hands and arms soft and moisturized. I have also received compliments on how nice my office smells after I apply it. While that might make it sound as if the scent is very strong, it isn't. It's nice, and lingers for a bit, but it is not overpowering or overwhelming. The tub goes a long way, and the container at my desk has lasted for months, and a little goes a long way. I appreciate that the container seals well and doesn't leak. Sometimes when I take other lotions on the go with me, I worry that the little flap top will open up and make a mess. That is not a problem with this jar AT ALL. It is easy to close and stays closed, even when I throw it in my bag and then throw my bag around a bit in transport.

Wonderful for my super dry skin
Size: 11 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This moisturizer is great, I have no complaints. I have VERY dry skin and live in Chicago - where winters only make matters worse. This product has actually healed my dry, cracked skin and improved it's overall condition. It absorbs quickly and the scent is mild. I apply it after exfoliating in the shower at night and when I wake up, my skin is soft and looks healthy.
