Jim Butcher Small favor volume 10 Dresden files HBDJ 1st/1st MINT SIGNED

Description: Jim Butcher, Small favor, Roc, 2008, 1st edition, 1st printing, signed, inscribed. This is so-called Urban fantasy. The next is personal, an opinion only. I am/was always SF, not fantasy, reader. With SF you have an idea (a scientific one preferably), a plot and an end. With fantasy there is scantily underlying idea, free for all flow, no strict plot and often no end, books just quietly slow down and than start over in the next sequel, as a rule less readable. But every rule must have an exception and this is IT. Can't put my finger on what's unusual in Harry Dresden adventures (plots are still fantasy, watery), nice characters, mystery (Harry certainly is no Sherlock Holmes), Chicago (my home town) background, but I found all the books in the series and read them all. For reference (it is personal again, mind you) I lasted 2 out of 3 Lord of the rings books, only 1st Dune out of 6 originals and uncountable (and indistinguishable) sequels. The only other similar adventure (mystery+fantasy+humour) for me was Glen Cook's Garret. Fine book in dust cover, uncommon
