Zustand: Fine. Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks enable users to directly share digital content (such as audio, video, and text files) as well as real-time data (such as telephony traffic) with other users without depending on a central server. Although originally popularized by unlicensed online music services such as Napster, P2P networking has recently emerged as a viable multimillion dollar business model for the distribution of information, telecommunications, and social networking. Written at an accessible level for any reader familiar with fundamental Internet protocols, the book explains the conceptual operations and architecture underlying basic P2P systems using well-known commercial systems as models and also provides the means to improve upon these models with innovations that will better performance, security, and flexibility. Peer-to-Peer Networking and Applications is thus both a valuable starting point and an important reference to those practitioners employed by any of the 200 companies with approximately $400 million invested in this new and lucrative technology.

First and only printing of the true first edition of the third Granta (New Series) - complete with the John Blanche illustration with OUP advert on the reverse inserted at page 108 - the illustration repeated on the front cover. A very rare first edition of the third issue of the reborn Granta, champion of new writing, which grew to be one of the best known, most widely read and longest enduring of modern day literary magazines. Includes two chapters from Salman Rushdie's "Midnight's Children" (the only pre-publication of any part of that book). ***Very good in mustard-yellow black printed thin card covers, with the matt surface very slightly rubbed and discoloured. Slight off-setting from a price label which appears to have been removed from the front cover. Edges of covers slightly rubbed. No serious creases or tears. Light reading creases to the spine. Spine slightly rolled from reading but spine tight. Internally also very good with no inscriptions or annotations. Pages clean. Top corners of last few pages very slightly creased, otherwise no creases or tears. ***216 pages including notes on contributors at the back of the magazine. 210mm x 146mm. ******Contents: Salman Rushdie: Midnight's Children (first part); Angela Carter: Cousins; Desmond Hogan: Southern Birds; Alan Sillitoe: A Scream of Toys; Emma Tennant: Alice fell; Russell Hoban: Riddley Walker; J.K.

Copies of the first three issues of Granta are very hard to come by now, especially in collectable condition.

Original Wraps. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: No Jacket, as Issued. First Edition. First and only printing of the true first edition - this copy in the scarce PROOF STATE with white covers (rather than red) and different cover layout. ***Very good in plain white printed card covers. The covers are largely clean, considering they are white, with just some light handling marks commensurate with age and handling, including a small stain on the front cover. The back cover is remarkably clean. The printed price of £1.50 on the front cover has been neatly crossed out in ink with £2.00 written underneath (possibly a contemporary re-pricing although this proof state would not normally have appeared for sale in shops?) No foxing or marks to the edges of the page block. Extremities of covers very slightly rubbed, with light reading creases to the spine. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally also very good with no inscriptions. Pages clean. There are some light creases to a few pages at the top corners but no tears. Importantly - no signs of splitting to the glued binding that this edition of Granta is particularly prone to. ***224 pages plus an unnumbered page on the inside of the back cover continuing notes on contributors. 202mm x 142mm. ***Contents: Richard Godden: Two Poems; Jerome Klinkowitz & Thomas Remington: Science Fiction to Superfiction; D. A. Miller: Language of Detective Fiction: Fiction of Detective Language; Peter Robinson: Four Poems; Robert Coover: Lucky Pierre and the Coldwater Flat; David Black: Nostalgia; M.J. Fitzgerald: Bachelor Life; Walter Abish: Sweet Truth; David Katz: The Wife; Norman Bryson: City of Dis: The Fiction of Don DeLillo; Robert Boyers: The Weightless Characters of William Styron; Heide Ziegler: Interview - John Barth; John Barth: Letters from LETTERS; Don Guttenplan: On the Death of Elizabeth Bishop; Tony Tanner: A Preface to A. H.; George Steiner: The Portage to San Cristobal of A. H. (a fantasy of Hitler alive in the Amazon); Jeremy Lane: B-ABEL. ***A very scarce pre-publication proof copy of Granta 2. The standard red covers published version of Granta 2 is very hard to find now, probably the second hardest Granta to acquire after the first issue Spring 1979 issue of Granta 1. This proof state of Granta 2 must be the scarcest of all the early Grantas. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.

Original Wraps. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: No Jacket, as Issued. First Edition.

No bumps or creases. Corners sharp. The sun-sensitive red to the spine is slightly faded. No reading creases to the spine. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally also very good with no inscriptions. Pages clean. No creases or tears. Importantly - no signs of splitting to the glued binding that this edition of Granta is particularly prone to. ***224 pages plus an unnumbered page on the inside back cover continuing notes on contributors. 202mm x 142mm. ***Contents: Richard Godden: Two Poems; Jerome Klinkowitz & Thomas Remington: Science Fiction to Superfiction; D.

(a fantasy of Hitler alive in the Amazon); Jeremy Lane: B-ABEL. ***The scarce first and only printing of Granta 2, in bright undamaged collectable condition.

To find a virtually unread copy such as this is highly unusual. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
